Generally, this means your fan belt is old and wearing. I would recommend installing a new one, they are very cheap and easy to install.

There could be many reasons why the Acura makes a high pitch whining noise. It could be that the brakes or the rotors are going out.
Are you sure it was the water pump whinning? Cause they don't make a noise, even when they are going bad, or atleast ive never heard one make a noise. Sounds to me like its the torque converter, cause when they go bad they whine, and make you lose power... The engine can be running, but with the converter going out it will whine and you are going anywhere. Even though its whinning, the car might be able to go afew, but definitely, wont make it far. My 92 Spirit had a converter that went out. Converter was whinning, and I could still move it around, but wouldn't trust it on the road.
Not much info there but my guess would be the the fuel pump.
no suv's do not make more noise than a car
It is not normal for a timing belt to make any noise. It is whining because something is out of place. It is either under too much tension or there is not enough lubrication.
Most likely the power supply or a failing hard drive.
Is it serious if my car idler is making a noise?
...what?
Why do my car make a putt putt noise
The same way you do.
It's called: Your car is running.
