2003 Camry -- Whiney Noise

My 2003 Camry "four cylinder" just started making a whiney noise. It's sounds like it coming from the back side of motor "transmission side", the whine increase when the engines RPM's increases. I should mention this noise is made made whether the car is parked or driving down the down the road.

Please advise, Jeff


Update!

My transmiision is now slipping, is this most likely the "torque converter falling apart internally or the front pump in the transmission going out"? I guess either way the tranny coming out, but it can't hurt to get some more input.

Please advicie and thanks for your help, Jeff

Update #2

The ccar is generating a P0741 code,
Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Performance or Stuck Off.

Please advice, Thanks
