CVT noise when using paddle shifts

Greetings to all
My brother and I find the Kizashi to be an excellent model. Very original line, lots of options, 4x4, reliable motor, etc etc
That's why we are looking to buy one for my brother. We went to try a 2013 Kizashi, 32'000km
The car is in excellent condition, it drives very well and the transmission works without any problem or noise in D
On the other hand, when we change gears manually, for example from 2nd to 3rd, or from 3rd to 4th, the cvt makes a whining noise when the engine regime goes down (for example when it goes from 6000rpm to 3000rpm)
Is this normal with this CVT? It doesn't have this whining when accelerating. Only when the engine regime is "going down", not like most of the videos and complains that I found on internet. Still, I don't find that very normal.
ps: the cvt oil was never changed, so it's already old oil, even tho it only made 32'000km
