It sounds like the Power Steering pump to me.
my guess would be that you have a bad or loose belt ( sliping ) or you have a pully that is gonna either come flying off or lock up completely....neither is good. also a tight belt can cause the whine if it is tight the whine could be coming from the pulley bearings (alternator etc)

It could be a vacuum leak in the throtle body or intake manifold. Get some carb cleaner and check it. Be careful as the cleaner is flamable.GoodluckJoe
What could cause the transmission on a 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan to make a shuddering sound while the engine is idling but it stops when accelerating?
This vehicle is notorious for a "whining" noise. The slower you drive, the louder it is. At first I thought our power-steering pump was going, or the transmission was whining. Two mechanics told me it's normal. Just a quirk with Dodge/Chrysler products. I had that whining noise and it was the alternator making the noise through the radio. even when the radio is off. Just a thought.

Why is 1999 Chrysler cirrus whining while driving?
For me it was the idler pully. A pretty cheap part. $15 I think. And only an hour or so to change. The problem was the bearing in it was shot. It would make a whining sound that got louder/higher pitch as the engine revved higher.
Does a plane sound louder taking off or landing?
A plane sounds much louder landing than on take-off. A single engine land plane revs up the engine to maximum power for take-off and climb-out. Maximum power equates with maximum noise. While landing, the same aircraft typically has the engine idling. Idling equates with minimum noise.
