No, it is not normal for a transmission to have problems this early.

Your transmission warranty probably expires at 50,000 miles. Let them fix that now. Then if the noise persists take it back.

There is an extended warranty on that vehicle because, sadly, many do fail early. [Here is a link.](http://www.lemonlawcase.com/problem-vehicles/subaru-continuously-variable-transmission/)

It’s a CVT transmission. Some of us don’t trust them and think they are trouble prone so if it is, better get a good diagnosis if the warranty is indeed 50K.
