It is the alternator....
Well without further analysis or information, a short answer would be that your engine is BROKEN.
if it sounds like a high pitched whining then it may just be your cool air intake
Friction in the transmission system may cause whining noise when a car is accelerating. A poor engine or clutch assembly may cause the excess friction in the transmission system.
What kind of howling? Or is it a whining? Where does it sound like it's coming from.
A whining noise when accelerating in your 2002 Saturn could indicate several potential issues. Common causes include worn or damaged serpentine belts, which may slip and create noise, or problems with the transmission, such as low fluid levels or internal wear. Additionally, issues with the power steering pump or alternator could also contribute to the sound. It's advisable to have a mechanic diagnose the issue to prevent further damage.
My 98 Ford Explorer eddie bauer edition as started to make this whining noise when im accelerating.. it stops when i take my foot off the gas...what is going on?
A bad pinion bearing in the differential is to blame
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.
The loud whining sound could be wheel bearings going out. However, it is also possible that the speedometer bearings or cable are defective.
its the pinion gear usually happens when the Axel assembly . is low on fluid, or from hi mileage usage, ether replace the Axel assembly .the Axel bearings get hot and start whining. thanks
Whining noise near belts had pulleys adjusted any idea what is causing this
