    It's the gear cluster spooling up (bearing noise) . If you put it into 1st while you are stopped it wont make that sound.

          It is the sound of you unnecessarily wearing your first gear synchro. :p

          Not a huge deal, but if you are going to shift into first gear at a red light, just wait until you're stopped.

              Maybe I just drive it to hard cause it does it in other gears to
