Is manual louder than automatic?
This May be a dumb question but I have a manual brz and an automatic frs both stock. Whenever I drive the brz I feel like it's a lot louder.

It seems that way. I sold my automatic BRZ and replaced it with a manual, and the transmission noise does seem noticeably louder.

Gears meshing together are louder than fluid slushing through journals.

Not sure which OP is referring to but I was more referring to the amount of noise when you're in gear. I do certainly like the sound of the gears meshing though.

Well, it is a completely different gear box. Maybe the MT box is a lot louder? Dunno. I assume in the MT you just shift a lot later

A BRZ has a little bit more power than an FRS so it's probably also a little bit louder.
