Yes.......the noise is normal ~!!!!!!!
My '02 had 5700 miles on it when I brought it home. Mine makes the same noises. Not a grinding noise, but noise. From everything I have read here, they all do that.
Congrats and post pics !!!!!!

Hey guys - thanks for the great welcome and good wishes! I've been on the forum a few months, shopping for a C5 here, eBay, and AutoTrader. Found my gem via the last one. inspected it two weeks ago, waited for non-rainy weather (VERY difficult in the PNW), and got to fetch it today from Puyallup, WA. My son of 26 yrs and I had a great time doing this together. A great memory was made.
We took a short ride during SB XL halftime at dusk, and we grinned the whole time. The POWER is simply awesome. 2nd and 3rd pull so hard, but geez I am comparing that to two Nissans and a Toyota, all of which have about 140hp, lol. I'll figure out how to post pics and do that in a new post. Thanks again for all the help. Jon

Well, I don't know if I have the same noise as you... but it is VERY hard to describe... its a very faint metal on metal "grinding" sound.... kinda "tinny" and happens when I put the clutch in shifting gears or let up off the accelerator and the gears begin breaking the car.... is that what your talking about? I wish I had a recording of it...
