Hydrostatic transmissions

Just took delivery of my first ever lawn tractor with a hydrostatic transmission. Not being a Lexus I don't expect silence, that said when engaging forward or reverse it's not exactly quiet either.Curious to learn from others what "normal sounds" to expect. I'm purposely not including the sounds I'm hearing so I can instead compare users descriptions to the sounds generated. Hopefully with your inputs I'll have an idea of what is normal and what should be of concern.
