Default air plane engine sound...

hi guys, i have a 2004 350z base model. I've had the car brand new.. anyways .. starting about 2 weeks ago, i'm hearing this airplane engine noise when i put gear in place and not pressing any pedal while moving. i know some might say its normal.. but this sound is pretty loud. ive raced my car, yes, but only like 3 times total in those almose 3 years. and changed gears at 5500rpm. trans problem? the car runs fine without any problem.
any help/comment would definately help me thanks

sounds to me like your synchro's. its normal. if im doing like 20 maybe 25 in first and the clutch is in and im just rolling it makes somewhat of an "airplane" type noise i guess.

When this happens, are you on 13L at Love Field?

Does it happen when you are slowing down? Like from 40 to 20, if so it's probably your tires.
