Default Anyone else's truck make this noise?

05 4WD 3.7L auto

When I am coming up over a hill or something and the RPMs are low, and I step on the gas just slightly (not enough for it to downshift) the transmission makes a gurgling noise. It happens so consistantly that I am thinking its a normal noise for this drivetrain. Just wondering if anyone else can verify this?

Its going in to the shop for some front end work, I will have them check it out. I really think its a normal noise though, its not a grinding noise or anything, just sounds like its getting ready to downshift but doesn't because its only slight throttle being applied. If I give it a little more throttle it downshifts and the noise stops.
