Thanks for the quick reply! I would have gotten a machine shop to do a run of reproduction gears, but I know others have tried and failed to get the costs to within a sensible budget.
It does sound a bit like an English taxicab, actually. A good old pre-selector box! Or an old Citroën in first gear. Maybe not quite as loud. I have excellent hearing so I often overestimate noises. But I know very well that the tensioner was operating correctly. I didn't see any marks when I took off the #8s before I sold the car. I did a couple of tests with the tensioner, too, including pouring a bit of oil in the tensioner cup and squeezing it to make sure it held.
When I put #7s on this box to sell the car, I got the same whine. The original #6 gears (totally useless on the freeway!) were silent.
Could be I slightly screwed up something in the transmission (lower input bearing?) when I put the #8s in, the first time, and that is causing the whine... Can't be too screwed-up, as the car is still going strong with its new owner.
