I try to avoid conditions that produce that noise but it's kind of difficult to avoid it in stop and go traffic. Speeds below ~14mph in 2nd put the rpm below 1500rpm and that speed is too fast for the transmission to let me into first.

Is there something wrong? Normal noise? Any ideas?

Typical boxer motor when you give it too much gas for the low rpms. That raspy sound goes away as soon as you get enough revs.
