Whine noise at exactly 1200rpm

I'm experiencing a really weird noise that occurs at exactly 1200rpm in any gear. It can get louder the longer I drive the car and sounds like it's coming from the front end. Its a whine which I can sometimes even feel through the steering wheel as a light vibration. It just so happens that that's the rev range the car seems to be in most of the time, so when I'm cruising through a town or whatever it's really noticeable. (Booting it everywhere instead isn't really an option, especially in towns, so looking for any suggestions other than that Laughing )

Just wondering if anybody has experienced anything similar?

if its not speed / gear related, that generally only leaves the engine, ancillaries or the part of the torque converter connected to the engine. I have read that the 8spd gearbox can whurr/whine if the fluid is starting to get old.

Can you hear it when in neutral and just revving it to 1200rpm ? Get someone to help and have the bonnet open and start looking for it. V8 or else ...

Thanks. I haven't actually tried it in neutral but will when I'm next out.

I had the gearbox oil changed last week but no difference

It's not uncommon for the gearbox splash guard to resonate at that rpm. Mine was more of a buzz but it was very loud and quite alarming until I found out what it was. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)
