I'm also not sure if I could hear a slight humming. Will have to have another listen.
Going to get it serviced soon. From what I've read;
Oil & filter. Air filter. Cabin filter (tricky job)
Spark plugs
Brake fluid change
Timing belt kit & Auxiliary belts (specialist)
Transmission fluid strategy?

you Are using the "button" on the shifter to move it?
when stopped, foot on brake, pull "button/lever" on shifter - moves freely
ditto when going from R <>N <>D , tho you Can move it from D to N without needing the button
yes there Is a bit of resistance when in sequential mode, and you do (or at least on my 2) need to use the Full travel of the shifter to +/- (and it Will only do the shift when the rev's are close to correct)
cabin filter ,, follow the LONG thread on here, its DIY'able,, DO get a magnetic pick up tool for the bolts holding the CEM bracket ,,,,you will find out why if you dont
belts + Atf,, Worth considering using Horton's for both @ the same time (and plugs) wallet depending, yes its a drive,,yes its a wait but there rep ,,its worth it,, esp when you look at the £ of a replacment geatronic box.
oh and factor in spending £ on the insides to get it Clean,, all DIY jobs,
leather steering wheel?
pop to halfrauds :P Autoglym leather Cleaner and a clean microfiber cloth,, work the cleaner into the wheel,, ditto the shifter,,
you Will be looking at the cloth after and thinking "uck"
