One source of whining could be many things but the first that comes to my mind is the Alternator.

Can a weak battery cause the alternator to make a loud whining noise?
I would say probably not, the reason your battery is weak is I reckon due to a fault with your alternator. It is obviously not producing sufficient power (electricity ) to keep the battery charged. The whining noise is probably caused by worn-out bearings. A replacement or re-conditioned alternator should cure the problem .
95 cavalier runs fine check engine light comes on after 40 mphs . also makes a whining noise at 35 mph sound coming from transmission?
I also heard a whining noise on my 2003 Cavalier. It turned out that the plastic covers on the nuts that hold the hubcaps on had cracked after I had my tires rotated. It seems silly, but the whining stopped after the covers were replaced. My check engine light comes on after I pump gas at a different gas station than the one I usually go to, regardless of speed. It goes away after I drive for a few miles. That may not be the case for you, but it's worth noting.

How do you know if you have a bad altinator?
If it makes a loud whining, screaming, or grinding noise, it needs to be replaced. Before you do, verify that it is indeed your alternator and not a pulley or other engine component If you suspect low output is why it's bad, the only way to verify that your alternator is bad is to attach a diagnostics tool, or remove it and take it to a local automotive parts store. Most will bench test your alternator for free.
What would cause a whining noise while accelerating?
Whining noises often come from the alternator or the steering pump. Check the power steering fluid in the pump (there is a dipstick on the pump), and have an AVR test done on the alternator. If the alternator is faulty, you are probably having battery problems as well. If the steering pump is low on fluid or is faulty, you probably are experiencing jerky steering from time to time.
