Transmission Whine?

Is there something wrong with the car in the video or is that whining a normal sound. Should I look out for this sound when test driving a TL?

You've created 8 threads about buying a TL (reliability, year differences, etc) since February.

Go test drive one and see what you think or move on

Hmm...kinda strange, I know mine makes a kind of "whirl" noise lol, don't know how to explain it. The high pitch wine is weird though, reminds me of a super charger
