Does your TH350C have a vacuum modulator in it? If so, maybe the or a vacuum line could be lose or lose fitting.
This is just my thought here:
By shifting in reverse the drivetrain torques the opposite way maybe causing a vacuum line to be pulled or stressed a little. Then shifting back to drive may allow the line to relax back into position.
Can you have someone assist you in searching for the whistle noise? If you can isolate the general area it's coming from that would be the first step in fixing it.

Believe it or not, I have seen some PCV valves create a "whistle" noise from the rear-main seal! If the PCV is stuck open, it creates a large amount of vac. inside the engine, and will actually draw air into the engine from the rear-main seal, and the seal will whistle!!
