I really wish I had a better way to describe this noise, but I will give it a shot and maybe someone will recognize the issue...
This noise is kind of like a whirring or possibly a vibration, but doesn't appear to be a rattling / heat shield type of noise. It is not loud enough to capture with video (well maybe), but loud enough that I can hear it with the radio on a regular level.
This happens between 40 and 55 mph and only when the torque converter is locked...or appears to be locked and slight pedal is applied. Enough to speed up, but not enough to downshift. If I go through this speed in a lower gear, it does not make the noise. If it starts to make the noise and I press the pedal a little harder, it will downshift and the noise disappears. It usually happens when driving on roads with speed limits in the range just from speeding up and slowing down to match traffic. But can also happen on light acceleration when it locks up the converter in this range and I am still accelerating.
Also, there is a slight and faint whine type of noise when decelerating through this same speed range. It is not very noticeable, but I have realized that it has only been making the noise as long as the acceleration noise has been present.
Both issues seem to slowly be getting worse.
I should also point out that the first problem is also present when not actually accelerating...IE: going up a slight hill in this speed range and needing to give it just a bit of throttle to hold my speed.
Any/all help is appreciated!
