Had it at the dealer today for them to give me some insight. If it needs major tranny work I don't feel like digging into it myself right now...

Of course the noise wasn't as bad today as it was the last few days. After a short ride with the shop manager, he said it could be a bad alternator. I think he's on crack because the sound isn't coming from anywhere near the alternator. He suggested changing the fluid and filters and see if it gets better; which I was planning on doing anyway.
