Most manuals will sound like a coffee grinder in reverse - it's the gearing.

The sound you are hearing in reverse is due to the gears being straight cut, much the same as the gears on a sport bike.

none of my other MTs sounded like this - or, atleast, to this intensity. this is the most prominent reverse "whine" under my ownership

keep in mind, the FIT has little to no sound deadening. probably the reason why it's so much louder than your previous cars.

Reverse = spur gear. It's going to whine, no two ways about it.

Just watch a youtube video of a beamer with spur-cut gears in the tranny-mmmmm.
