Edit: Listened to the video on page 2.. yep, same sounds easing out on first gear.. I guess they all sound like this which means there's nothing to worry about - I bet it's just a beefy first gear with some gnarly teeth designed for longevity and launching in mind.
dont worry about the noise the gearbox on these is just normal thats what they said about these cars when they did all the road tests and the old ones did it two .These cars have a very low first gear thats what you are hearing.

^your noise isn't the transmission. You're revving in neutral. That's the sound of the alternator, water pump...something belt driven.

No man, when I push transmission pedal noise isn“t

Havent been here for a while, my car still does the rattle/chatter noice in first. Just wondering if everyone is just living with it or if someone ever found a solution! Its loudest when outside temp is high and when I have been driving 30 mins+. (driving off at a red light sometimes even makes me feel ****, helps if I keep the revs up more as I normally would do)

Also when I am driving slow in first gear and I have to brake "hard" and depress my clutch quickly I sometimes get a hard bang/clunk :p

It's normal. The 350 does the same thing. You want noise, upgrade your clutch and flywheel. You'll be wishing you had your stock setup back.

Easy...easy....calm. Mine does it, too. All is well. Sounds identical.

i get the same thing, at 29,000 miles.

Hey guys just thought I would share is. I have had my 2013 370z for a week now and it does the same thing. I test drove two of them and verified they both made this noise. What I have found is if I stay in 1st longer and let it rev a little higher, then the noise isn't as bad.

did this situation get better or worse? I just bought an 09 with 35000 miles on it and i'm getting the whine and the clicking into 2nd.

Thanks.

^^^ This

I used to get this noise as well but starting learning the timing and how much pressure apply to the clutch. The noise is gone about 80% of the time now.

I have this same problem. If I am coasting downhill, in first gear, even with the clutch depressed (only in first gear) there is a speed correlated whine. Also, if I am going uphill, and press in the clutch, it makes a nasty thunk as it disengages. Should I have this checked out?

No. Normal.
