Default Engine now has high pitched whine

I have a 99 Camaro SS M6 with about 60k and lately the engine has started to whine. The whining is noticeably more pronounced around tighter corners at slightly higher RPM's. I thougth maybe it was the power steering or even the synchros, but it whines constantly, even when the car is stopped in neutral and I just rev it. If yall have experienced this before or could give me some advice on where to begin to fix this, I would definitely appreciate it.

Possibly the alternator bearing? Is it a squeak or a constant whine?

Its definitley not a squeak, its a whine. Some days it is not as bad, but on others I make one turn in low gear and it seems to set it off.
