    I have never heard the C4 make any kind of sound when coming to a stop - in or out of Low gear. I have heard a governor buzz - but that was caused by a semi-stuck valve. Does it still operate properly? It may have been the governor complaining.

    The governor controls full throttle shifts and the down-shifts when coming to a stop.
    If it is behaving itself don't worry about it. If it starts hang-shifting or not shifting into low at a stop then you can ask how to fix it.
