Hunming noise at low speeds?

Hi everyone!

Started getting a faint humming droaning noise low speeds. Most noticeable when coasting between 1000 and 2000 RPMs. Don't think it's a wheel bearing, and you can only hear it inside the car. Impossible to hear it with a window down. Seems to correspond with engine RPM as opposed to speed. Any ideas? Any way to check the tranny fluid on these cars?

I would put on a lift and inspect, as I think the noise is coming from the torque converter

Thanks for the suggestion Plutoe!

Tom, it actually turned out to be a bad tranny mount that was completely worn. Replaced the mount and noise went away. It was inexpensive at my probate mechanic, only $150 for parts and labor.

Hope that helps.

Cheap and easy fixes for annoying problems are always nice.
