No. The only thing that could make noise related to a torque converter is if the hub is chewed up and grinding on the bushing in the transmission's front pump. That won't go on for long before transmission fluid starts leaking badly. A cracked hub will usually cause a vibration too but that would be felt at higher speeds.
