Default sudden whirring shy of 93k miles

I hope I didn't just happen to notice this today if it has been going on for any length of time now. I started up our '05 this morning and she's definitely whirring at idle. I do not recall hearing this sound at all recently and we've been on a couple lengthy trips with it. Fluid levels all appear normal.

Had my wife start it up too and she agreed that the whirring was not there previously.

What are the most likely candidates into which I should look first? It' not high pitched, but a steady muted whir of the type I might expect to hear when two gears spin while making contact.

Good question. I'll ask her. It's my wife's car and she maintains records for it so I hope it has been addressed already.

If it's not TB-related, any other thoughts?
