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.
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.
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.
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
what kind of noise?
Its could be the turbo your hearing...
If the chirping noise speeds up as the truck speeds up, check the u-joints in the drive line.
The high-pitched whining noise in a 2009 Jetta can be attributed to several potential issues, such as a failing alternator, worn-out serpentine belt, or issues with the power steering pump. The alternator may produce a whining sound if its bearings are worn, while a loose or damaged serpentine belt can create a high-pitched noise when it slips. Additionally, if the power steering fluid is low or the pump is malfunctioning, it can also generate a whining sound. It’s advisable to have a mechanic inspect the vehicle to pinpoint and address the exact cause.

Answer Humming noise from front endI just got my car fixed with the same problem and it was the wheel bearing and it is gone. Was it a fwd car?
A cracked flex plate (flywheel) could be your problem.
