Transmission noisy in lowest gears

I just got an Epic 8 EVO with GX Transmission. The next to last low gear and a bit of the lowest gear are noisy. All the rest of the gear combinations are quiet. I got the bike new and on the first ride I noticed the noise so I jumped off to check if there was something obviously wrong but I could see nothing. I then tried to reinstall everything and make micro adjustments (I did all this about 3 times) and things did not get better. I took the bike to the shop and it was adjusted again but that noise is still there in those low gears. Is this normal for this setup? Will it get quieter as the miles accumulate? Or should I try something else? It is not a horrible noise but it is definitely there. Especially in the middle of a steep quiet trail.
