Mechanical noise at low speed

[Brsox]

2023 Heritage 2 door. 2.3/manual here. 5300 miles. Vehicle engine/transmission/clutch run nicely with no issues. However, at very low speeds, just around 5-10mph, in first gear, I feel like I hear a faint mechanical noise that sounds like it's coming from beneath the floor board, right below my feet. Could be nothing, and totally normal but just sounds a little odd to me. Noise goes away as soon as you get over 15mph. Has anyone noticed anything like this? Maybe it's just me .

Does same noise happen in say,1st 2nd or 3rd gear in 4L at same speed?

Could be a speed thing in the transfer case, or it could just be how 1st gear sounds. There are quite a few other things it could be too but that’s one way you could differentiate between the gear and the speed

may have a skid plate bolt that's worked it's way loose. That happened to me after an oli change.

I have that, too, also 2023 and manual. Dealer tech said it’s normal; not sure if it is since I haven’t been in another similar spec.

Might be related to this thread below. If it is, then I have the same issue and my dealer couldn’t replicate it because it comes and goes. They said it’s “normal” when the front driveshaft is warm

I haven't tried checking in 4low. I'll get back to you on that.

Any difference in the noise when you depress the clutch?

The 7MT is sometimes a bit noisy when you're coasting in first gear under little to no load. Check out the manual transmission scraping thread and see if the noise is similar. I personally rarely get the noise but occasionally notice it when coasting in a quiet parking lot.
