1997 Trans Am - Weird Noise
 

The car is a 1997 Trans Am, it has close to 145,xxx miles on it.

My question today is that the car makes a weird high pitched noise, while idling and driving.

While idle, it sounds like it to the left of the engine. While driving, it sounds like it's coming from the rear seat.

It is a persistant sound and it high pitch and gets very annoying.

Any ideas on what it could be? I was thinking an exhaust leak.

WAG but could be your fuel pumps swan song.

second that.. my stock fuel pump whines a little after ive treated my car to some spirited driving, ive heard aftermarket ones are worse tho. is your car an auto or manual? does it only do it in gear or all the time? answering that may get you more opinions

get in car
turn key on (DO NOT START, just turn to ON)
do you hear the noise?

The car is auto and it does it when it is on. When I have key in accessory mode it doesn't make that sound.

Anyone?

You need to find out where it's coming from, it could really be a number of things. Air conditioning comes to mind.

Posting an accurate video of the noise would be incredibly helpful.

When I get home from school I will be posting a video of it.
