They all sound noisey.
Any distinctive knocks or bangs should cause you to be wary though..

It isn't a particularly quiet idling engine, I wouldn't worry about it unless it's really obviously bad.

some aren't that quiet at low revs moving, let alone idle - there was a 1.4 fsi that did a 3 point turn at the end of our road, on hearing the tone of the engine noise along with audible rattle, i went to the window to see if it was the DPD delivery guy i was expecting, in his soot chucking van!
