I had the same noise, and its been driving me crazy. I recently took my car into the dealership and told them about the noise. The changed my transmission fluid for me, with only 2300 miles on the car. I was worried about bits of metal floating around in the transmission case. The tech said the fluid was clean, and the magnets didn't have any particles attached to them, which was a relief.
The noise is much quiter now, and the shifts are better in all gears. I will tell you to shift at >3k rpm from 1st to 2nd. This car wants to run, and the higher the rpm your shifts are, the smoother your shifts are going to be.
