The transmission pump may emit this noise.
The cure involves installing an insulating package onto the transmission cooler lines.
Install one foam sleeve (from kit P/N 68217310AA) on each cooler line between the metal crimp fittings. Ensure that the foam slit is facing downward.
Secure the foam sleeves with tie straps. Tighten the tie straps just enough to secure the sleeves in place.
