Number 3 quacking

Hey guys got a question. My 3rd seven. finally an S5. N/a and this is my first experience with this but I am getting a quacking sound when I make a hard right turn. Sounds like it is coming for the shock tower?? I'm totally confused and I checked previous threads for the sound everyone has something different?? She runs fine through the turn just the noise is annoying as ever. Is there a specific problem someone already knows about or what can I do to narrow it down?

The only thing that comes to mind is the air dump/muffler from the air pump, which runs on the passenger side although I don't know why it would only make noise while turning.

It's the "quacking" sound that's weird.
Anything suspension/steering/wheel related you'd expect grinding or thumping or at least "metallic" sounding...not the noise of a bird.

I'd recommend getting the car up in the air and checking the whole front end out.
Pay special attention to what happens when the wheels are turned.

If you can't find anything, maybe just try a different class of psychedelics.

Just to be sure, you are not talking about the buzzer that also does low coolant and the shift buzzer?

Thanks guys it was actually the low oil buzzer it sounds like a duck. I took a corner slow this morning but I got a look at the gauge panel. Seems I may have a unplugged oil line losing just a bit of oil
