1st Gear high pitched whine, and super high pitched whine downshifting into first

Personally I don’t recommend down shifting to 1st. Let gear 2 do the work if you’re going that slow or need to stop clutch in and break.

This.

However, I can't really comment on the whine that you're hearing, as I've never heard it (I don't downshift to 1st, and very rarely does SRM occur if I'm rolling and need 1st gear - happens at on ramp lights when I try to time them w/o using the brakes. ).

I would assume it's the synchro's playing catch-up though.
