depending on what type of transmission it is will depend on what is making the noise and why.
like is it a 350 turbo or a 4R100. front wheel drive CD4E or a 440T4. with the various styles of transmissions it could be a list of things. the most common problem almost all transmissions share is front pump failure. this will cause a variety of things from whinning to burn up trans. the pump can fail in a few ways. by excessive wear to a modulating valve hanging up in it. there's also chances of valve body problems like valves hanging up in it. to simple things as low fluid level. some of the newer model transmissions have a full set of electronic solenoids that control pressure and shifts that could be causing a problem as well. outside of hydraulic systems there's bearings that could be bad to a sungear or planetary system in them thats worn out.
in this case i would have to start by checking the fluid and work from there. if fluid level is fine then its time to see a transmission specialist, either at a trans shop or dealership.

a Little more information about the Year make and model would help. Also and Engine size. With out more information this is just a general view. If your hearing the sound even in nutral and the car is moving it may not be the transmission it may be something else. you could have a lubrication problem between the final drive gear and the transmission fluid. you could have a valve body issue which would require a fulid flush and possible replacement of the valve body. it could be a bad torque converter. It could even be a bad bearing in the trasmission it's self or on one of the wheels. Again with out more information it's difficult to give you anything of use.

going to shoot this into the wind, but it is not the power steeing is it? Short on fluid. It's more common. Transmissions need skill to fix. You should eliminate the easy stuff, just in case, otherwise oldspower said it best.

On what?
1957 Chevy Belair?
2008 Ford F-350?
1999 Honda Civic?
It makes a big difference.

Oh never mind....It's broke, take it to a shop.

If it whines in park too, and you are sure its the trans. It's probably coming from the pump. Check for foamy, old, or low fluid.

Add transmission fluid. If you would like me to explain to you exactly why I will but not right now.

There is a pump that pumps the fluid. That is probably it.
