Technical autobox whine

is it normal for the automatic gearbox to make an annoying whinning sound?

Mine never did, but maybe that was abnormal

how do you know it's from the gearbox?

because a mechanic told me, it changes tone with the revs

my family has had a lot of autos and we haven't encountered this, may be normal on smaller cars, how loud is it?
