I've heard this twice now over a longish period of time. It's the sound of a belt squealing lightly at idle is the best way I can think to describe it stopped with trans in gear and warmed up. I shifted to N and to R and it was gone, could not duplicate. Trans acts normal for the miles, hard 1-2 when warm, little hard into R and D from P, usual quarter million+ mile AW71 stuff. Fluid seems ok, maybe little overfilled. Ring any bells?

    Check for a loose heat shield on the head pipe or catalytic converter. When their welds pop, they screech when a "certain but always different" rpm is reached. When this happens, it sounds like its coming from the trans and mimics a belt squeal.
