Another noise question - transmission or engine

This board has been great. I have owned the car for only 3 weeks, really like it but there are certainly a lot of quirks and people have been great sharing information.

This has happened twice in the three weeks. I am driving normally in city traffic, come to a stop sign and put in in neutral. Loud whining coming from engine or trans. When I rev the engine the noise stops above 2,000 rpms, comes back below 2,000. I drive it a little longer put it in neutral and noise disappears - normal or serious. Thanks.

I've only had the car for about 4 weeks, so I am still trying to figure it out, but I generally have been shifting into neutral as I come to a light. I read that it could reduce clutch wear. Since I drive a lot in San Francisco, it is constantly stop and go and I figured I am putting enough wear on the clutch.

If someone actually has anything other than anecdotal information I would be very interested to know if iI am really decreasing the clutch wear.
