AWD Trans are normally a little noisy.. but I don't hear any grinding, or loud whining at speed or deceleration.. I do hear the backpressure valve in the muffler open when I decelerate which growls like a bigger engine than it is...
What region are you all from? Maybe its a group of cars with close vin#'s possibly a bad lot of trannies?

When you down**** in any car, you get that backlash from the trany. A high smooth BRRRRRRRRRRRRR then as soon as you release the gas it sound more like BRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHNNGG from about 6k to 3k. Then back to normal BRRRRRRRRRRRR. This sounds gay I know. But I can't explain it any better.

Well there was a rumor on this message board saying that the Evo's arrival was delayed due to tranny problems. 
I think I'll have my dealer check mine out next time I go in there.

The problem, if this is indeed a problem, might be isolated to early cars, or cars in a certain VIN range.
Could the guys that are hearing strange noises and/or experiencing failures post the last few digits of your VIN (sort of like the "build date," but better), and how long you've heard the noises (number of miles)?

For anyone who has had a chance to pull off the under chin spoiler and look at the tarnsmission. . . .
My trany case looks like it was cast by a buncth of neandetahls - - the case is very very roughly finished and it has cracks in the metal - its just a really poorly made casting - - no where near as professional looking as the suby transmissions
I do not know if this is par for the course with
or if this is something new to the evo - - but with that type of poor casting work its clear that they did not take great care with these transmissions

Oh, i have also noticed when i 1st take off (after the car had been sitting) it clunks in the rear diff too. But i didn't even think that was a problem.
I expected more noise from the drivetrain then other cars..
I do need to take the car in anyway, cause the installed one of the rear seatbelts backwards.. haha
