Does anyone know if there are any rubber plugs or any body holes that lead to the transmission tunnel under the center console / armrest? I am curious to know without taking out the console to look. Curious to know if anyone knows first.

Not positive but where the 4wd shifter sits should be one .

Are you hoping to gain access to the tranny through there? What do you hope to see…besides the obvious?
Obviously, the unobvious!

:like:

Judging by OP's question, probably running wires from interior to the rear exterior without drilling holes or going through the cab vents.

If that's the question, there are oval plastic plugs under driver and passenger seats that are handy. Being close to the inside of the frame rails, that has to be the easiest place for cable ingress, easily sealed up again, invisible with the seats in place, and easy to get to with the seats out or tilted back out of the way. In fact with the seats out of the way, it's pretty easy to fish lines from side to side under the center console - there are hidden access gaps along the bottom edge around where the seatbelt goes

Sorry actually none of those. Still chasing a wind hiss noise and I’m starting to think it’s coming from inside the console. I noticed I felt like I could open and close the arm rest lid and hear it more. So with me thinking it may be in that area I wanted to see what all I can check in that section.

Around here, I'd be concerned a hiss was a snake in the console.

I'd expect that if there was any "leak" to the outside via the floor, you'd hear drive train sounds and road noises.
To me a wind hiss would be up higher.
Could be wrong, I think it's happened before, but could be wrong about that, too

There are two. One is in the middle for the T-case cable and Transmission connector and the other is at the rear for the e-brake cable. And they are bolted in.

I screenshot these pics from a video on my YT channel back when I had to replace the T-case cable.
