There's zero sound deadening in the tunnel so it's pretty audible.

Because racecar.

Hahaha answers to life's problems!

It's kinda odd though. After 10 - 15 minutes of driving around the noise goes away completely.

The neutral detent is kinda weak for the 5/6 shift rod. Sometimes mine doesn't center perfectly and I get a little noise. I just rake through them if I'm sitting it traffic and it goes away. Another sign is if I feel the lever hang up a little when returning to neutral in the 3/4 gate from the 5/6 gate.
