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.

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 do you hear a high pitched whining noise on the 2009 jetta?

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.
