weird noise

I have just changed my tranny fluid and am getting a weird whinning noise in 2 and forth gear only now. wondering what it is. I am going to make a vid but have not had the time to just wondering if anybody else has had this before.It is not loud enough to hear when the radio is on but can hear it when its on mute

Does it drive fine or it grinds?

Mine sounds like a boiler now compared to past whirring noise.

Information like what type of oil you used and how you performed the change would be helpful.
