Weird whining sound

Whenever I accelerate out of the lower gears, I hear a whining, buzzing sound coming from the engine right behind the center dash. It sounds like an old cd player loading/ejecting a disk, and it stops right after. Dealership says that is a normal engine noise. They stuck it in neutral, revved the engine, and got it to do it on demand. Well, that is not normal. Do you agree?

Toyota Corolla SW 1.4 VVT-i E12, 2004. Buzzing noise coming from the engine bay when accelerating on gear.

Hi there,

The sound you hear, is it a whining, popping, grinding, scraping or rattling sound?
If you drive a manual transmission vehicle and notice a grinding noise, it can indicate the clutch gear is no longer disengaging correctly.

Whine coming from the left front of engine. Sounds just like its low on power steering fluid but it is full. Could this be the water pump?

could be a water pump bearing ---idler puller pulley bearing---power steering pump bearing or gears --alternator bearings. Get a mechanic stethiscope from a auto spare shop and carefully place the tip on the housing of the units. If you hear a steady buzz then the bearing will be ok but if you hear a low grumble then that unit's bearings are on the way out.

Buzzing sound

Re:- the buzzing behind the dash:-
Its tiny a fan which carries on running in humid conditions to circulate the air so you dont get blasted by warm air when you use your climate control.It circulates air across the humidity sensor. It keeps running for a while after you switch off, and starts again when you open a door. It does this so that there is less delay in getting the climate control to the right setting when you switch on (or restart).
