They have strait cut gears in first so they whine. That's normal for 4l80e's

This wine gradually gets louder and louder. It is loud when cold and louder at operating temp.

Not true, most 80Es are helical cut. They all (80Es) whine a little in first, though.

However, I do have a 4L80e with th400 straight cut planets in my car at the moment. It whines noticeably more than the stock helical cut. However, straight cut planets usually wear a lot faster since they tend to rock back and forth since there is no thrust.

Louder with RPM or louder with time?

Mine is quite loud at around 4k rpms.

Louder with rpm. Tranny is fresh. Hits every gear perfectly.. Runs good. Just concerned about the noise.
