What now....

So i noticed the other day that my imp has been making a whining noise. At low speeds and if i rev it when in park. I does it through out ~4k RPMs while driving dont know if i doesnt it past that as all the other noise drowns it out. Any ideas... i really dont want to take it to the dealership if i dont have to...

So, the deal did a quick "diagnostic" of what the noise is. They said it was coming from the transmission. I'm going to guess the torque converter? I'll try to upload a vid of the sound, any input would be greatly appreciated.

No, everything runs very smoothly. Its just a noise that wasnt there before. I want to take care of it before it becomes a bigger problem. The reason i assume its the TC is because its the only thing i didnt upgrade when i did my rebuild. I figured i could wait a while until i had the engine rebuilt since the guy said he could do the TC at that time for no additional charge.
