Hmmm I don't think it's a warped flexplate. If it was you would have one hell of a vibration.
A whine can come from aggressive tire tread, exessive lash in the rear-end gears, perhaps an axle or pinion bearing. Those are my guesses.

I was just thinking that a bad front wheel bearing may cause a whine too. But generally a bad front bearing will give a rumble or grinding noise.

It could be exessive lash in the rear end gears that is causing the whine.
