strang noise at down shift?

Hello all

I hear a strange humming noise coming from the engine bay when I down shift. This happens sometimes when I down shift in to second gear. Anything to be concerned about

Is it a humming noise or more of a whine?

The drivetrains on these cars are noisy, mine makes all kinds of different whines, growls in different gears up-shifting and down-shifting.

Probably nothing to worry about.....just the norm.

it's normal unless it's a "clunk clunk sound" that humming sound is just normal when you downshift. ( welcome to the world of evo's where your car talks to u in different ways different sounds ) lol.
