Default Weird noise when decelerating

Okay guys, so i literally just bought an 03 track 350z with about 38k miles (crazy right?) and i noticed whenever I'm decelerating and still in gear i hear a whining noise, it's very audible; all my friends pointed it out and even i noticed it during the test drive but figured it was normal considering it happened everytime you slow down and come to a stop. I'm not sure if it's just engine noise or if it's from the exhaust or what. The only reason i bring it up is because i owned a 6 speed g35 and i did not remember having this same noise upon decelerating in that vehicle. Some important information i should add is the car is bone stock, no modifications have been done to the car whatsoever.. Thanks and any information is appreciated!

Can you post a detailed clear video? Sound problems are very hard to explain and understand over text.

Video would help a ton to see where the sound is coming from and what exactly it sounds like. A ting, bang, whine or pop could sound like 50 different things to 50 different people unless actually heard.

Speaking of bushings, I have to do mine. Getting a little squeak in the front when I go over speed bumps.. Gotta do my diff bushings too. Gotta get that extra 5hp.

i might have the same noise. It sounds like something is spinning down. my guess is that it has something to do with the fly wheel.
