Default Humming noise

Everytime I accelerate there is a humming noise. I can hear the humming noise also when the car is just idling. I was thinking maybe my rear end but I'm not sure. Just wondering what you guys think it might be and what I should do about it. Thanks!!

youre not moving, and the rear end isnt in use. its more than likely a transmission/engine issue.

I can be stopped and in neutral and I will rev it up and I can hear it. As soon as I let off the gas though I don't hear it.

Do you have an aftermarket stereo in your car? Or do you have subs or any amplified speakers? If so might be the good ol' alternator humjob.

No I do not have a aftermarket stero in it or subs. What do you think it could be? Its always when I press on the accelerator. Moving or not. It sounds like a winding noise.

I wondered how it could be the rear hub when the whine was constant... In the end, it still made the same sound so they decided I was right and that it was the fuel pump after all. Once they changed it we never heard it again.

Is your powersteering fluid low? Cause that will make whine when the fluid is low.

no my power steering fluid is not low because I checked it and filled it up and it is still making the noise. How much do you think a new fuel pump costs?
