Default Transmission noise at low RPM's

I recently (about 3 weeks ago) purchased a CPO 2004 RX330. I recently was in some traffic and noticed a funny noise that seemed to be coming from the transmission when I had my foot on the gas and was going between 10-20mph. Typically, the RPM's would be around 1200-1400 when you could hear the noise. If you accelerated a little or let my foot off the gas, the noise went away. It was like a whining noise.

Fortunatly its a CPO and I'll be taking it in for a couple of other things.

Any thoughts?

Let us know what the issue is. Good that it is a CPO. Good luck in describing the issue. Go on a road test.
