Default Tapping noise at idle

Hi Guys,

Took the S out today for a short drive and noticed an odd tapping noise when sat at idle and perfect stationary.

I don't believe it's engine related, a slight tap to the throttle makes the noise disappear, and it does not seem to be coming from the block.

It's quite loud in the cabin, and appears to be coming from the transmission tunnel. It's certainly something tapping the chassis, putting my ear to the body panels I can hear it quite clearly. Most likely exhaust perhaps?

I've captured a short video for the audio.

Only change in recent times were a set of new tyres fitted a few days ago.

Any thoughts?
