I think the ECU is programmed to do a blip even when you go to neutral...
The system can't perfectly predict if you are going to upshift or downshift so the engineers designed it to always bleep when you go into neutral. Don't believe me? try it. I think they did this to make downshift bleeps even faster/smoother. It may have actually be done to work around a heavier flywheel...its a pre-bleep to the real downshift bleep, like a jump start. Maybe the flywheel is so heavy that if they didnt use the pre-bleep, then it wouldn't feel as quick.
I think the lighter flywheel will make the pre-bleep even more noticeable. However, it will help the system overall...
