Transmission noise

My car only has 950 miles on it. Whenever I'm coasting in gear, the transmission makes a loud whining noise as the RPMs are going down. If I shift into neutral it goes away. It's usually loudest when I'm in 2nd gear but I can notice it in any gear. Has anyone had this issue or know what it is? I'll try to make a video of it but I'm not sure of my phone will capture the audio.

Did it sound like that fresh off the lot? Or did it develop over the first 1,000 miles of driving the car? Maybe just take it by the dealership since it's under warranty.

Well, Harjotdhanota ....... welcome to the MT in an BRZ/FR-S.

A lot of them are noisy. More so when they are new. They are also cranky when cold.

Most likely there is nothing wrong with your car's transmission ...... it's just breaking in.

However, you may wish to go to the dealer and drive another car like yours, for a comparison.
