Maybe you're hearing the planetary gearset. Mine makes a similar sound, but since I opened the exhaust a bit, I don't hear it over the engine anymore.

Low fluid, failing pump or seriously worn out transmission would be my guesses in order of probability.

My AOD makes those noises as well. I don't think it's a good noise for it to be making though...

It's not so audible in Foxes, but in dead-stock quiet exhausted Panther cars, the howling of the planetary gearset, as mentioned, can definitely be heard in 1st at 2000-2500 or so RPM lightly accelerating, I don't think I ever hear it in my Vic in 2nd, but it's possible. I remember Grandma's '86 Town Car doing this as well.

This is a normal sound for the planetary gearset to make, as Zonda mentioned, the quieter the car, the more you'll hear it. My trans is fresh and all the parts are new. I hear it, 2 years ago when we were still selling new crown vics, I heard it from them, too. You're good, worry about something else.
