Not knowing the inners of that trany, and the fourth gear normally being the smallest gear. It sounds like it was run when low on oil (but where would it go since the rigs never leak).
As you warm up the trany, the metals expand and the mating surfaces have a greater void causing for the increased noise level. (Or you get more tired of the noise and it sounds worse.) I think there is an app for the phone to measure Db levels, this might be an interesting test to make.
