If it sounds like an elephant or a harmonica type noise, then yes, I've had this issue... usually first start-up on a cold morning (~50* F), with the temps now warmer (65*+ F) I don't hear it.

Mine is either going in reverse, but usually going forward for a few feet and once I reach past 10mph the noise is gone, even after several stop/starts.

I've taken it to the dealer who said it was a rubber hose near the engine, which they replaced. They said it was faulty and was squishy to the pinch.

Brought it in again when this didn't resolve it, this time they changed out the throw-out bearing.

That still didn't resolve it...
