Is this still an issue with new Octavias? I'm sensitive to low frequency noise in general, so this could put me off getting an Octavia altogether if it's still prevalent.

Thanks for the responses

Very confused by the actual CO2 rating of the 1.4 TSI. In the brochures and on the web-site it says 121g/CO2. However, if you configure an Octavia Elegance (on UK Site) it says it is 119g/CO2. Interestingly however, if you configure an Octavia SE with the same engine is says 121g/CO2. Now I hopped on to the Skoda Ireland web-site to see if it was a data entry error, but bizarrely all the 1.4 TSI Octavia models you can configure all show as 119g/CO2 there. Anyway, reason I need to know is I'm considering the Elegance with 1.4 TSI as my company car and 119g is a band lower than 121g, so it makes a difference. Really hoping I can get to the bottom of this and work out what the current official CO2 actually is If it is indeed the band higher I may instead consider the 2.0 TDI SE Business but then I'd lose the alcantara seats and 17" wheels, and it seems the 1,4 is somewhat more refined. I don't do much private mileage so fuel consumption isn't much of an issue to me from a personal standpoint.
