I first noticed the noise at about 2000km. It was rather loud for a time, but it started to fade at 15000km. Maybe there is hope out there for all with the noise?

In the last few days I've noticed a much louder 'woooosh' sound when accelerating in D at low RPM. Comes from the front of the car on the passenger side. Might just be from the warmer weather

[+] Got a leak in the charged air pipe coming from the intercooler according to VW.

There isn't a "fix" beyond what has already been released with the modified pumps released 12 months ago.

There is another way.......

Apply a few drops of Belt Spray (Example) or WD40 to the gap between the inner & outer pulleys are on the water pump. Not a liberal spraying, I mean about 4 to 5 raindrop sized drips. Your are aiming to get the droplets onto the metal clutch part area. Leave it to work into the clutch mechanism overnight. In viewing the water pump pulleys from above you will see a plate protruding slightly above the levels of the pulleys. Apply there.

It may take 2 or 3 applications over time. The pet rodent should disappear except at extreme engagement speed, ie. when the Supercharger clutch is engaged up towards 2,500 - 3,000 rpm engine speed and the Supercharger has to start rotating from 0 rpm to 12,500 - 15,000 rpm.

By applying just a few droplets, the Supercharger clutch does not loose its ability to drive the Supercharger as normal.

If it returns (persists) then you will have to chance a new water pump assembly but the replacement will still be the latest fix introduced 12 months ago. And they are known to squeak.

There is a fix on its way, VGA currently testing new design, they have changed the clutch material, it will now use similar material to that in the 7speedDSG clutch.
