Probably just the mesh, My 01 made a similar sound when it was new but it was not as loud as it is in the 04. I only hear it if I am going really slow. Reverse makes much of the same noise. For some reason it sounds normal since I am used to hearing that from just about every standard transmission I have driven.

My ex-wifes Accura made similar sounds but it was more of a whine than a growl. You get the same sound if you pull out in 2nd gear too.
