Gave it a few days to make sure it wasn’t just oil working it’s way though, but OEM filter and good fluid levels and a little bit of driving and I’m actually getting far worse (louder) noise. Here they are, louder than I was previously hearing. Getting the whizz on the first cold start, and a high pitcher whine that (might) be worse after it’s warm. Some loud chain noise it sounds like too. Whine seems to be coming from TCT, consistent with revs.
Thanks for your help, I’m getting worried.

The grinding sound on startup is starter after run.
Any other noises are not specific enough to determine via the web.
As stated before, the chain may have suffered damage from overtightening.

****ing enraging if that is true. I never walked in the tensioner, only briefly installed the Ballade. This is pretty outrageous

Well now it’s been a thousand or so. And I’ve driven enough to know that this noise is new, and now much worse. It’s very clean and well kept with history, 70k always garaged, bone stock.

How loud is the "whine", hard to tell relative due to youtube video. But a lot of sports cars that ive driven (my two s2k, BRZ, 86, fry, Miatas, old Triumph roadsters) all have had a similar whine to them. The S2k ive noticed have been on the louder side. Both of my S2ks have had it and from what I can gather its perfectly normal. They aren't loud whines however, like I kinda have to listen for it, but I'll notice it during startup or low RPM driving. I'm curious if you are just not used to the sounds these kinds of cars make.
Please take what I say with many grains of salt. I'm not a mechanic in any sense of the word and have only owned this car for a total of 1 year. However I generally try to think of things differently and I know this car specifically makes a lot of sounds that sound like somethings wrong, but are actually quite normal.
