Default newb with a "sound question"

im new to s2k and had mine for about a week now. i love it.
ive read a lot, so im assuming this is "normal" in the AP1.

Whenever i decelerate, i notice the noise coming from the transmission is so loud from within the cabin when im driving. I know that the drivetrain sits right under the area of the shifter and probably is equating to the sound im hearing.

I feel like they should have put some dynamat or something in this area if this is typical.

Is this typical or something to be concerned about?

If you touch the clutch peddle does it go away?

Its probably clutch buzz.

I just had a complete ACT kit installed in mine with lightened flywheel - mine is absolutely horrible... but the Skunk2 exhaust installed drowns it out completely
