Default whining sound....opinions?

Hi peeps, was out earlier in the S2 and noticed once in a while when putting the car into 2nd gear and decelerating (without pressing the brake) i would get a loud whining sound...if i had the car in any other gear, the car was perfect...when the whining was happening, there was nothing else happening like the car juddering or anything...just a whine that was changing with speed...

it doesnt do it all the time...just now and again....tried changing through all the gears and its fine...even going perfectly into reverse...

am i looking at a soon to fail gearbox or could it be something simple like the fluid is low?

oh and the car is standard engine wise...

cheers for any input
