Looking for some advice

Went to see a car today for my brother. TT 180 Quattro MK1. It was spot on but had been stood for a few months

Car drove fine except one issue. When lifting off the throttle in gear only there was a loud noise that could be heard. Depressing clutch, neutral or applying throttle made the noise go away. Was like a droning noise

Any thoughts?

Loose baffle in the exhaust, or loose heat shield perhaps.
Hoping it is something as simple as a loose heat shield. Could it be possible that it is 4wd related?
