Hows she sound?

I've now run the freshly rebuilt A4 a few times. Sounds decent to me, but I'm not sure how a perfectly running unmuffled A4 should sound. I'm hoping some of you with more experience can advise me.

Here it is running at idle. I assume the slight sputtering is just because it's unmuffled.

Running at idle

Here it is running a bit faster, maybe around typical cruising speed. Sounds a little rough to me. Is that because it's unloaded, and if it were loaded up with a prop it would be smoother?

Running at Cruise

In general, does this sound good? Or do you hear anything of concern?

Thanks
