with the engine running, and your bonnet up, listen to your engine...its quite quiet for a diesel is'nt it.
now with the engine still running, just open (twist off) the oil filler cap for a second....it sounds like a bag of nails in there?
i didnt realise they were that loud/under that much presure in there.
if you only do it for a second there is no chance of damage, but diesel engines do rely on presure for function, in fact most audi's if you do this, they stall or get very lumpy.

I hear my small diesel engine knocking as cold and in speeds under 30 km/h.
But that's it, not even the turbo whistle.
