I am having the same exact issue with my brand spankn' new 2022 F150 XLT FX4 with the 5.0L engine. When I drove into my work parking lot and passed and a colleague of mine (who owns a Dodge Ram), and he says, "Yo! Is that your new truck making that horrible whining noise", then it's a problem.
I have a case number with Ford Motor Company now. My truck is sitting at the dealership and while the truck is paid off, I'm not taking it back unless the issue is fixed. Even the dealership service rep who moved my truck into the service bay said upon starting it, "Ooof! That doesn't sound good at all". I didn't spend this much money for a truck with a V8 and now have to live with a whiney sound. Completely unacceptable for the #1 selling pick up truck in America.
They need to make this right, not just for me, but for others that are annoyed with this odd noise.
Have the dealership double check the transmission fluid level. It's well documented that Ford has had an issue with underfilling the 10R80's at the factory by up to 2-3 quarts. My 2020 Ranger (same transmission) was almost 2 under and whined pretty bad at first as well as had odd shifting issues. The dealer topped it off and I reset the shift tables with Forscan and it was muuuuuuuch better after that.
