You're not the only one who has noticed that. I get it SOMETIMES too. Mostly when coming to a stop while my clutch is depressed.. (another issue with the clutch & brakes I'm having).
I've heard people talking about this before. But I have yet to hear a solution or what is causing the noise/"problem".
