Brief Scratching/squeal sound. Accelerating/change gears.

Hello. Not sure if anyone has experienced this.

It's a persistent issue since a little after I got the car last January. I'm at 17.5 k miles now

When changing gears, mostly to third, I'll get a very brief scratch when putting back the gas.

Some days it's there, others it isn't.

I'll also get a scratch/squeal for a split second when I push down the gas hard from 3-6th gears.

I've tried finding some related forums but to no result. It still grabs right away and I can feel the pull forward, but there's just this split second scratch.

I've notified the dealer when bringing it on each maintenance.

The first time the guy said it could be the synchro settling so it'll take time. The second time, the mechanic said that it's actually a good/acceptable sound. Gonna be going in again next week and once again let them know that it's there.

It doesn't seem to affect the performance of the vehicle because it drives just like it did when I got it, but it's just a nuisance when driving. The good thing is the cricket sound when away in its own over the time.

Any ideas? Thanks.
