I found the whine mainly around 2000-2500rpm in 1-3rd gears. My car didn't do this initially.

My car and the loaner car had the whine. The car shifts perfectly. I would NEVER replace the tranny on it over the whine. Thanks for your feedback, seems to be normal among other ES's.

So i realize this is an old thread, but have a 2012 with a similar whine, very supercharger like, albeit not super loud. Just wanted to confirm it is relatively normal. I dont drive the car often, but I don't remember there being a whine before. It has 41k miles.
