ZoomX2 - CAPITAL letters equate to SHOUTING when written in "computer language". Hence the last two responses. As a friendly suggestion, I'd recommend dropping down into lower case when you type in a forum.
Regarding the noise, yes I've heard one too. It just sounds like a subtle change in rpm but I've never eyed the tach to confirm this suspicion. It's not a grinding noise or a straining noise or a knocking noise, it's just a different frequency in the hummmmm of the engine; so I've not worried about it. If your noise sounds nasty, get your dealer to check it out (at least that way you've got the problem documented.) Since I'm not able to hear your car over the Internet, I'll assume both our cars make the same noise and I'm banking on the noise I hear being normal or at least of no mechanical significance.....

I get this too... bit of a clunk when going into first and second when cold too (I know this because my garage is right at the end of a long row of them in my apartment complex, when I drive out, I get into second
)
)

Can't hear that annoying change in pitch when you let out the clutch in neutral either Sort of like living in that proverbial forest where the tree falls silently when nobody is there. If you can't hear it, it's not happening. I like it.
