Well that right there tells you they're full of ****. The car has a 7500 RPM redline, not 5000. If the noise is normal, then driving it at 5K+ is not going to cause damage.

There have been many complaints that, in general, the 6MT cars have an unusually high level of noise and vibration at high RPM. If that's all you're hearing, that's just how the car is and nothing to worry about. But really, only someone hearing it in person that knows what they're listening to could tell you for sure.
