Revving or Fan Noise When Turning Left

I have a 2008 Chevy Malibu LTZ and last week I noticed a revving noise like a fan or something whenever I accelerated from a stop and turned left. Continues throughout the turn and stops when going straight. Doesn’t happen on a right turn. Also happens on a windy road when turning left more sharply than just a gradual turn.

Also just noticed this in stop and go traffic. When accelerating slightly and letting off there will be a short grinding/clicking noise that lasts 2-3 seconds or sometimes until I hit the accelerator again.

Any idea what these issues could be and if they might be related?

Check the transmission fluid level. Low fluid usually exhibits symptoms on left turns since it starves the pump pickup.
