Strange noise when accelerating under 2000 rpm

I'm a new owner of a 2013 Seat Ibiza Cupra with the CTHE engine and DSG transmission I absolutely love the car and really enjoy driving it.
Recently, I've noticed a strange noise coming from the right-hand side of the car. Here are the specifics:

When it happens:
  • In any gear
  • Under 2000 RPM
  • When I let off the gas and then accelerate slowly
When it doesn't happen:
  • When accelerating continuously (in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gears)
  • In sport mode
  • Never over 2000 RPM
I've also got a video of the noise here

I'm hoping someone here might have experienced something similar or have some insights into what might be causing this. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
