Default noise

I just installed a steeda tr ax and changed the fluid with napa brand dextron 3/mercon. I took it for a test drive after a day of ripping my center console out to get to it. Anyways when I floor it and let it wind out it sounds like a blower but not as loud, like a high pitch noise. Its not that loud but it kinda annoys me. does the new fluid just need to break in?

sometimes after changing out old fluid to new for strange reasons new noises arise, I've sometimes had to add conditioners to various other cars when such occurs, not saying nthat's what you have to do just what I have had to do in some instances

**** im so pissed off was driving all night and the noise is pissing me off, its also a rattling sound too. Also my shifthandle is loose now. I think it may not be sealed well because the gasket i bought wasnt that great of a fit. Was i suposed to use locktite? Im so confused now, I think im gonna redo it but with rtv instead of the am gasket. Is there a better way to get the lower boot plate off with out removing all the center console and ****?
