Is you car equipped with LSD? If it is the sound MAY be coming from there. The type of LSD used in the SS is known to be a little noisy. But it IS the best around. Why do you think it's not coming from either the engine or transmission?

It's the tranny, and nothing to worry about.

yes i do have an lsd, the reason y i didnt think its the tranny is because i dont down shift when i stop. so i led me to believe it was something else, like the diff. the noise decelerates as my speed does. and i dont think its my engine because i will rev it as i slow down or even while im driving and it never wines until then.maybe its my supercharger ha ha jk. its really only audible from like 20 mph and under. i dont think i have to much to worry about but would like to know what it is. n i dont believe its the tranny being that im in neutral when i slow down so therefore it would not be enganged. unless im wrong.

The transmission in these cars whines when you're coasting and is generally noisier than you'd hear in most other vehicles. It's normal.
