Exclamation Throttle knocking

2012 CC R-Line 2.0T
engine light is on, showing code P2015 and engine knocking noise when stepping on accelerator.
noise stops when foot is off accelerator...returns when accelerates.
noise is absent when in neutral and gasing the throttle.
possible Intake Mainfold loose flap??? Any other guesses?
thank you in advance.

@Keithuk Thank you for he reply. Didn't mean to break forum rules on my first thread.
Thank you for the P2015 info. Looks like I am going to need a dealer to look at this. Intake Manifold swap is above my toolbox inventory.
Cheers.
