Red face Tranny Whine

I have a 2014 ES350 with about 42k on the car. Haven't talked to the dealer yet. At very low speed and very slow acceleration I am hearing a slight metallic whining noise. I turned the AC off trying to isolate it. Noise still there. Put the car in park, revved the engine and noise still there. I am guessing it may be something in the tranny. Anyone having similar issues???

If you hear it in "Park", it isn't the transmission.

I would guess Brakes or Power Steering.

Pretty sure it is not the power steering as that is electric.
My guess is alternator or belt pulley or cooling fan. If you lift the hood can you identify the source?
