Same truck/tranny and I once posted this exact question on a board (not sure if it was this one). I seem to remember being told it was a fan of some type.... although as I'm typing this I can't imagine why a fan would come on in the cold.
Anyway, my noise isn't so much a "whine" as it is a very fast movement of air that almost sounds like a whine. And it definitely follows the transmission and engine speed - louder at high rpm, slightly quieter after a shift since lower rpm.
It generally happens during colder weather and is quite loud. What you describe sounds a lot like what I was worried about.... it's pretty loud.
