Depends on where it's coming from. Other common possibilities could be bad lifter or an exhaust leak.

It sounds like its comming from the trans. I also notice a whine/suction noise thats not the air intake noise but sounds similar, when im either extreemly light throttle or coasting. It also chatters at idle. sounds like a loose heat shield
