Erm, that doesn't sound good, never heard that on an N52 and I've worked on quite a few - Possibly one of the DISA valve actuators??

And sound keeps going on after i turn down the engine like 2-3 times. Maybe its something electrical.

The DISA valves return to their rest position when you turn off the ign, so I would start there.. Probably stripped teeth on the actuator/flap.

Could you use a car stethascope to pinpoint exactly where the noise emanates from ?
