Muffled squealing from tranny

Some what sounds to be metal-on-metal squealing seems to be getting worse. It's coming from the tranny only when it's not torque-converter locked and varies with tranny speed, not necessarily rpms.

Slippage? Signs of some serious problems?

Truck has 90K on it. I don't tow. I changed the tranny fluid about 60K ago. I just checked the fluid on the dipstick tonight and it's still light pink and clear, but I have not dropped the pan to see what's inside yet. No codes and the truck drives perfectly well otherwise

Any ideas?

Bump..

I had a chance to drive the truck more this past week.

The noise sounds more like a continuous chirping noise that varies with road speed...louder when I'm on the gas. It disappears as soon as torque converter locks in 4th. It doesn't happen all the time...but when it does, it's pretty consistent.

Any ideas?
