Is this transmission related?

Hello All,

Well I recently had the transmission rebuilt. I'm noticing now an interesting noise.
Driving in the snow now the tires spin more often. I find when I'm losing traction there's a noise that comes from up front.
The best way to describe it is if you were to put a piece of plastic in spokes of a bike. (Not the best description I know)
It's only when the tires spin and if I were to turn off the traction control I don't believe it happens.
I'm just curious if the noise would be part of the transmission or if it's something else within the engine bay.

Any input appreciated

Thanks

It's your traction control trying to get you to keep traction

I understand it's related but I can't only say I've heard the noise before. Just recently after getting stuck in snow a couple weeks back.

yup, that your traction control kicking in, its more like the engine cuts out.

i turn the TC off if its raining out, snow its off before i pull out of my spot. damn pain in the ass.

Thank you guys. I definitely knew it was traction control related as turning it off and I don't hear the noise during spin.
Just had some concern that the noise was a result of something traction control related being broken when it attempts to engage
