I changed the fluid, did about 15 minutes worth of figure eights and drove it home but the whine was still present. I don't think it's the fuel pump as it only does it when I'm moving. I might take it for a longer drive but I doubt anything is going to get better.
I talked to a guy at DTE and although he couldn't say without looking at the car he thought it could be the spring broke or the clutches are going. He also said I could probably drive it as long as I didn't do donuts and stuff like that.

I really don't want to swap the rear on jack stands in my garage by myself but it would be a fun job. DTE wants $500 to do the swap plus it's a 5 hour drive so I'll have to think about what I'm going to do from here.
