I wouldn't say his transmission is noisy. It does have a distinctive sound in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear that strongly reminds me of the old M22 Muncie shallow helix angle though. Guys used to say the Muncies whined and they became known as "rock crusher" but I would just call it a distinctive sound. In 4th and fifth gear the sound reverts to being comparable to an A833.
