My 2002 Deville has started making a whining noise when accelerating after about 35 mph. When decelerating it winds down and then stops.

Does this always for about 2 months now.

Check manifold gaskets for leaks, check vacuum hoses for leaks. check the transmission oil condition ( auto tranny)
if it is an auto then it may require the pan to come off and check for mechanical fault.

SOURCE: 2002 deville, 80K mi., Winning sound at start-up

It could be several things, most likely the idler pulley that keeps the serpentine belt tight. But could also be, power steering pump, altenator. ac compressor or water pump. The best way to find out is to remove the belt from the car by releasing the idler pulley tension. Then one by one check each component by feeling for slack in them and spinning them by hand to see if you feel
roughness. Good luck and dont forget to rate.

SOURCE: i have a loud whining noise coming from my ac

The A/C compressor constantly turns because the pulley is connected into the serpentine system. The whining noise is pretty indicative of a low charge in the A/C system. I would start by having your A/C pressure checked and charged if needed.

SOURCE: engine makes noise when driving

Are you sure it is the engine. Try putting in neutral as you are slowing down. If the noise is still there then it sounds like a wheel bearing failing

When I get up to about 65-70 mph with my 2004 Lincoln Navigator it makes a humming noise... very annoying.. Can anyone help me with what this is and how I can get it fixed?

Unfortunately, this is a somewhat common problem. Ford has issued several Technical Service Bulletins related to rear end noise. Without an extended warranty, this is something you will have to pay for.

ISSUE:
Some vehicles may exhibit an axle whine or hum during acceleration, deceleration and/or cruise.
ACTION: An axle repair kit has been developed which incorporates most parts required for a comprehensive axle repair. The kit should be used instead of installing a complete axle assembly to repair an axle whine/hum. Replace Ring and Pinion with Axle Kit and Components.

There is a high-pitched whine coming from rear of our 2007 saturn sky that occurs at steady speed of 62-65 mph. when we accelerate or decelerate past it, it disappears momentarily

It seems like what you've discovered is something that will produce the noise based on the amount of wind speed. I'm imagining that you should look for something loose such as a piece of weather stripping, a crack, or an adjoining section of body panels where the gapping may be larger than the other side.

2002 Windstar. Automatic transmission has begun to make a whirring sound when decelerating above 40 mph. Sounds very much like decelerating with a manual transmission when the clutch is not released. Pitch...

Sounds like a bad torque converter. When the torque converter is engaged, it's not "whirring" it's on decel or freewheel that it "whirs".Did you check fluid level and color?
