Check the transmission oil level. That sometimes causes a whining sound.
Hope this helps.

It sounds like a Bearing is worn in one of the wheels or in the Drive-shaft. Get a mechanic to check it out

SOURCE: high pitch sound

Front wheel bearings. We have a 2004 Limited and ended up getting both replaced (at different times) paid for by Ford. We only had 40,000 km on the vehicle at the time and had to fight Ford to cover the cost. The did come through in the end.

SOURCE: Clicking noise under the glovebox

You may have a A/C,heater mode door actuator causing this. when this happens try all the different modes until it stops to see which one is causing this. I would start with temp. control first.

SOURCE: Whine/high pitch noise from under hood '00 Explorer

Sounds like your tensioner and belt are both going bad together and need replaced. The tensioner pulls the belt tight to hold enough tension for the belt not to slip, but the belt once it has slipped gets "burned" or slick and slips anyway. When the A/C is engaged it has alot of pull on the belt and slips causing the sound most likely. When belt is off check other bearings for noise to make sure that is your only issue. If one starts to go the others may not far behind.

High Pitched Whine

A high pitched whine like that indicates a bad bearing. Water pump, power steering pump, accessory belt slipping, alternator bearing, or in the worst case scenerio, Transmission pump.

Whine from 2005 corolla automatic transmission

Have the tranny serviced with fluid change and filter, if noise it still there it is the torque converter . Have the dealer fix it ,and have it on paper with dealer invoice when it is done. Do all this before warranty expires. IT IS NOT USUAL for any car, Toyota included, to have tranny whine!!!!!

It makes a high pitched whine at about 62 mph

Vacume line off of transmission won't alow high gear and at that speed the tranny starts screaming for relief. Find the vucume line and make sure its good and connected at both ends

High Pitch whine during acceleration

Hi Pullerwife,

I have a few suggestions for you,

First of all, check your air filter, make sure its clean, not clogged, and doesn't need to be changed.

I don't know how handy you are, but if you are fairly handy, check the idler pulley bearings, if your not, have a shop check it out, as a last resort.

Power steering pump/fluid being low is also a possibility, but thats usually more of a lower pitched whine then what you describe.

You say once the vehicle is warmed up, the whining stops. Does Weather seem to be a factor as well?

Hope I've helped, and don't forget to rate.
