Faint moan/groan when turning at low speed, usually under power

Anyone else? Seems to be coming from the drivetrain, usually at pretty low speed, like in a parking garage. Doesn't seem to happen as much when off power, but still sometimes. Isn't suspension.

It's been like this for awhile. Last year the dealer tech said 'that's just how the Egolfs are'. This year a different tech claimed at first he couldn't hear it, then he finally could, tightened up who knows what and said maybe it's fixed now, let us know. Changed nothing.

It's not that big a deal, but annoying. Otherwise, one of the nicest cars I've ever owned. A lightyear better than the Fiat 500E that was my first EV (yet I miss that car, it was teeny and spunky). The Egolf will do just fine till the ID4 prices come down.
