SHO whining noise?

Okay I have done a search most of what I have read is transmission failure. So I have a 2010 Taurus SHO. I hear a loud whining noise when the car is going up a "steep" incline or if I have the car over 4,000 rpms or in six gear over 2.5k or 3k rpms. I am going to assume its the torque converter making the noise? Just wondering if it is a turbo failing or possibly a air leak in the piping somewhere? It literally sounds like I have a supercharger on the engine.

It could be your Torque converter! How many miles on your SHO! Did you check for codes!  If you have a video of the sound in question it might be beneficial. Z

Check the PTU fluid for level/condition.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

No codes being thrown. It only has 117k.

Good point, I'll do that probably past time for the fluid to be changed.
