    Just wondering if the drowning type sound is normal- I hear mostly at speeds above 45mph in any gear seems depending on engine rpm vs speed.

    Toyota manual transmissions have always had a unique whining noise to them. I don't recall it when I drove the manual but I kinda like that drivetrain noise.

    What is a drowning sound? Sounds like someone choking on water and gasping for air?
