Sounds like it could just be the air pump cycling - is it coming from under the drivers side headlight area?

Re: Whining noise?

I still have AIR and it's not really that noticeable. Sometimes the pump goes bad and it's really loud. You can pull the AIR PUMP fuse under the hood while it's making the noise to be sure and see if the noise immediately stops...if it does it's probably the AIR pump. In colder weather at night with the lights on it'll also dim the headlights/dashlights when it cycles.
