Default 90 cb7 ex auto trans sounds?

I've had a 92 cb7 Lx for a while now and I just picked up a 90 cb7 EX and it has a sound coming from the transmission it sounds like an electric car while running and accelerating, and on the passenger side down by the tire the trans has a clicking sound any ideas what it could be

My first guess on the clicking noise :

1 - Axle - a bad axle - where the cv joints are - rubber boot torn - axle gone bad. I would get under and take a look at the axle, pulling on it and rotating it by hand to see if you can hear the click noise. Could also be producing the "whirring" noise I think you mean by electric car noise.

Whirring cant be the axle cuz it is there while the car Is not moving. Same with the clicking. I wish I could post a vid. And the sound seems to originate from the back of the trans.

Ok...second guess.

Hmmmm..... back of the transmission. Could the sound of the torque convertor echo in a way to sound from the back?
transmission pump?

Can you make a youtube video and post so we can hear it?

OK, great.
I found it here:

The only thing I can think of that spins all the time in the torque converter.Which makes me think this is the transmission pump that is failing.

Unless you know how to rebuild an auto transmission, I think I would start looking for a junkyard replacement for the cheapest fix and replace it.
