2nd gear crunching?

I'm getting a random strange clicking noise coming from second gear whenever it's engaged.

When the car is being eased into 2nd, there's a small click, almost like a leaf crunch noise emanating from the engine/tranny. It's a lot more apparent upon leaving second gear though as the noise is much more obvious. It's the loudest when it's engaging 3rd but it makes the same noise if I'm shifting into neutral or 4th. When I skip 2nd though, no noise. I want to say it's the load shifting around when going through each gear but it only occurs through 2nd gear.

Anyone ever have these symptoms before?

EDIT:
Strangely, it seems to be happening when I'm shifting from 1st into 3rd also but not 1st into neutral or 4th.
