All my shifts clunk harder on my 09 than my 02. My primary is much louder as well. I have not change to Synthetic yet.

Your thoughts?

+1 on that. Mine does the same thing. I'm going to Redline next change also.

I notice a lot of noise in mine also, more-so after the 1000 mile service. I had them put Syn3 in all 3 at the 1K and I think it's noisier now than before. I think I'm going to change the oil up next time, probably Mobile 1 and dino in the primary.

That being said, I don't mind the noises, I just love sitting on my HDs and listening to them. It's all music to my ears.
