Yes, I have the 1.0TSI 110 FR DSG, it's marginally louder (I'm guessing you mean hearing it from outside) when cold yes...but I didn't find any 'issues' with performance, I mean I dont floor it when cold, but it's the same with me, first thing in morning, I'm a bit slow and lumpy getting out of bed ahaha.
I normally put seatbelt on, close door, start the car, wait 3-5 secs, put in gear, and drive off gently.
