Transmission whine.

I guess I should add that the engine light is not on.

Have you checked to see if your low on transmission fluid?Also the rpms going up when you come to a quick stop could be a bad coolant temp sensor.You have checked to make sure there are no codes even though the check engine light isn't on?

Transmission fluid is full and pink. I have not had it scanned because I was told scanning will only work if the engine light is on. I haven't tried quick stopping this happens with normal breaking.

The high idle when coming to a stop could be the coolant temp sensor is reading the incorrect temp.If you have a advanced scan tool then sometimes you can get codes even if the check engine light isn't on.

OK thank know you! I will see if I can find someone that has one. What are your thoughts on the whine? I have seen several people say it was normal for a Saturn but I'm not sure.

Are you sure it's the transmission?because the alternators do whine and you will hear them at low speeds.

I'm not positive I'm just guessing it is because that's what (to me) it sounded like. It's pretty loud.I do tend to be overly paranoid at times mainly because my car is my lifleline. My job depends on it. Also sometimes there will be a loud "alarm" type sound coming from the back end. I'm guessing that is the fuel pump going bad?

I have never heard a alarm sound coming from the rear of the car before.Maybe it's a different sound then your describing.Start the car and let it idle in park the rev the up to maybe 2000 rpms slowly.Can you hear that whining sound?

I'm not the best at describing sounds. The alarm sound was pretty constant a few month back and then I didn't hear it anymore. Here recently it started again but it's only done it a couple times. When I reved to 2000rpms I couldn't really tell if I was hearing the same sound. Am I being overly paranoid? I am female so I'm good for that lol.

Not sure since I can't hear the sound your hearing.As far as a alarm sound I have no clue what noise your trying to describe there.Have you had your rear brakes checked.

Just had new back brakes and wheel cylinders put on.

Maybe a rear wheel bearing or rust on the drums.

I have a video and you can see and hear what it's doing bur unfortunately there is no option to post video here.

You can post it to you tube and post the link.

Hopefully this works and it helps.

If you put it in neutral while driving and it's whining does the whining change or go away?

I will have to try that tomorrow and get back to you. :)

So when your driving and you give it gas the noise gets louder quick with necessarily a increase in speed?Also can you hear the noise in park while reving the engine?I think you answered that question but we're unclear as to the answer.

I had a couple friends that work on cars to listen to the whine. They both agree that it sounds like my power steering pump and not the transmission. Now I am hearing a buzz sound when I go from park to reverse or drive. It's a short electric sounding buzz. They aren't sure what that is?

That buzzing sound is normal it's the transmission actuators also that whining noise could also be the idler pulley bearing.

When I put the car in neutral while idle the buzzing is consant. Where is that pulley located?

The idler pulley is right bellow the upper engine mount it's held on by a 13mm headed bolt.While the engine is off and cold remove the pulley put the bearing on the tip of your finger.Then spin the pulley.If the bearing is bad you should be able to feel the roughness in the bearing

Okay, I will have that checked. Thank you so much!

Also the constant buzzing in neutral is normal as well.
