Your automatic transmission is never going to downshift in such a way as to hurt the engine. Ever. Even if you tried to force it to, it wouldn't.

You might not like the sounds that the engine is making, but it's not hurting anything. Just turn up the radio and drive the car, already!

+1 !

It's Engine braking. Your brakes is happy when Engine braking slowdown the car speed in a downhill.

No Engine braking + Downhill + Use brake = Death brakes (Overheat)
