Whining sound at low gear, low rpm
My 05 rx330 with 91k miles just started making a whining noise in what seems to be 1st gear at around 1500 rpm. It is only in that gear, around that rpm and around 5-7 mph. If I am starting from a stop sign or stop light and accelerating past 5-7mph, I don't even hear it. It is really noticeable driving around a parking lot or down a stretch of pavement where you are slowing almost to a stop and only driving up to 5mph. Any ideas?

With a/c running. I haven't paid attention without it running, I've pretty much run my a/c all the time. I'll check that. It definitely seems that the sound only occurs at about 1250 rpm, just above or below that rpm and there is no sounds. It isn't a high pitched sound either, kind of like a moaning sound.
