My mom has a 2003 that does it... We've taken it into the dealer (under warranty) two or three times. They say they don't hear it, which is typical of Ford, but I assume it's not a big problem. She has a manual, and it's particularly bad while going into first gear, but I don't know how it would be in an auto. Also, keep in mind that ALL ZX2's are just unusually loud when idling, in general.
