Transmission noise (sound like bearing failure)

I managed to record it and finally convinced the tech to be on my side and the dealer replaced the tranny. The noise in the new trans is faint and not nearly as loud as my old transmission. I think it's a worn CSC that's causing the noise, but I honestly don't know enough about transmissions to give an accurate answer.
