OP, are you new to manual transmissions, or manual transmissions in sports cars? Could just be typical gear whine.

I have a 2010 and mine whines all the time....

oh, that's the turbo....nevermind

On a more serious note OP there are a lot of noises specific to the VQ platform going on under that hood. I would not automatically assume there is something seriously wrong with it. It is runs, acts normal and they don't find anything you might just be alright.

I understand VQ generates specific noises but this one suddenly appeared.. that's why i'm concerned about... and if you hear it, then you would definitely notice this noise isn't normal

Sounds like you have HFC's. I have them as well and it sounds the same. The hiss is indigenous to HFC's.

It's the biggest thing I miss about going to the turbo. That noise is fantastic!

Nope, i'm not new to manual transmission and my friends who drives manual as well thinks there is something wrong with this noise. They couldn't figure out what exactly is causing the noise
