My car makes a whining sound too I agree with the guys above... air pump. Start your car up jump out and put your head down by the driver wheel well. the air pump is behind the the fog light. see if it's louder there.

yeah i think it might be the air pump cause it does not keep doing it just when it starts and when i give it some gas it stops but the alt. prob is going bad too. how do i go about taking the a.i.r out? iv never done that before.
