Was your noise constant or only when it was in gear like mine?
Yes when I was driving and accelerating

Yeah the manual in my '15 isn't the smoothest shifting manual I've ever had but it makes no noise while running in gear. It does have the crazy shifter shake that does seem to be common in this manual tranny. Quiet as a mouse, however. Another vote for having it looked at more closely by a dealership.
UPDATE:
It was an intermittent problem so there is no way to be sure it's actually fixed, but since taking it to the original dealer it has not made the chatter sound again. The ONLY thing they did was add fluid to the tranny and drive it. That makes me wonder just how low it was if that is actually what was causing such an issue... I'm still having a hard time believing that was the problem, but (knock on wood) it hasn't made the sound since then and that's the only thing that was changed.
Keep in mind this is a brand new JK w/ about 4K miles on it. I guess the lesson here is to check your fluids even on factory new vehicles???
I will post back with any additional updates if there are any to be made.
Thank you again for all the earlier replies/input!
You actually accepting the jeep back with them just adding fluid? Fuck that. They should have at least pulled the pan and done a check not just add fluid.
Manual transmissions don't have pans. Either way, it shouldn't be low at 4,000 miles unless it's leaking.
Or it failed quality control checks at the factory which can always happen...

But it should've been caught during PDI
