Something's amiss -- the tranny should be relatively quiet. Probably need to hook up with someone that knows tranny's to help you diagnose the problem. My T5-Z makes no noise at all.

I would try changing the fluid in it first. Ever been done? How many miles on it?

Change the fluid. Could be low.

Does it have an aftermarket shifter on it? They sometimes tend to whine

every t-5 mustang i've been in whines a little, specially a aftermarket shifter. When i did my tri-ax shifter, it eliminates one of the boots that kinda shields the sound and it's noiser now. How loud is it? It could be a more serious trans problem.
