assuming you're being serious,
the reverse gears are straight cut, and straight cut gears whine.

djwrx

I have never seen inside an impreza's box but the reason for it on other boxes is beacause the rear gear has no synchro.

Youtube - sounds from inside a touring car. All the gears are stright cut.

thanks just seems bit odd.had car over a year and you notice difference in sounds etc

It's cos when your goin forward da sound is left behind, reversing your moving towards the sound so it'll be louder innit

took too subaru and they said not too worry.thing is it sounds differnt too the other day.it defiantly sound s louder when you reverse and alos i noticed when you drop to 2nd from 3rd the whine seems louder too..checked diff oil and it level.the car had full 60 service done at subaru in april so surley the gearbox oil etc isnt low @@@???

lack of synchro would be the crunching, whining is the straight cut gears as said...

djwrx

is there any reason why it would sound louder than the day before tho.was pretty quiet when left work then all sudden when reversed on snow down at shops it very loud and has been since

Carlh

mine whines, even when i go forward. I tell the miserable cow to shut up and that usually sorts it out

arumdevil

have you checked the gearbox oil level?
