Check fluid level.

Does it still make the noise if you immediately put it in neutral?

Mine gets louder the more throttle you give it but if you mash on the loud pedal fast it stops for a second

I have the exact same problem. I've been told several vague ideas that it has something to do with the level of fluid with at start up. If anyone has any insight it would be very appreciated.
