Totally normal. Also, you'll soon figure out that you get other unique noises when you drive the car hard (think track day). I've noticed that after a few track sessions, the turbos will sound a but different (noisier). I chalk all of the preceding up to the expansion and contraction of materials in the drivetrain as you use the car and temps go up and down. Trust me, if something breaks, you'll know it! So, just drive the car regularly and you'll quickly figure out what's normal and what isn't.
