Coming home from a 3 day trip Saturday, I slow down to about 3 kts, put engine in neutral, and this noise, kind of high pitched to low pitch happens. I assume it was the prop spinning down to a stop; not sure where it comes from, possibly stuffing box? I've heard it before, months ago, but not recently. Last time it happened was during close quarters maneuvering, as in forward, then reverse, then repeat same. No leaks or wobble from shaft passing thru stuffing box. Any ideas?
