Can't hear sh1t.... I've either got rather loud music on  :evil: or I'm listening to the creaking groaning sound from the B pillar.

The former drowns out the latter  :laugh:
I only hear it after switching the car off - usually when I arrive home late at night, so there's no other sound.

I think I have something similar in my 7.5.  Last week when it was very hot and my car had been sitting out all day in the sun I noticed a faint whirring noise behind the dash, after the AC had been on full for some time it slowed down but then picked up after I had parked up and switched off.  I was worried that something wasn't right as it also sounded like something was hitting the fan (card in spinning bike spokes).

Since the weather has cooled off a bit the noise has gone, it makes sense that there would be a fan just for the Infotainment system.

Not quite golf mk8 but my alpine double din has a cooling fan and yes you can hear it when the car is not running. They can generate a lot of heat.
