OK folks, so you may recall I said "ohhhh my alternator is whining and I need a new one". So I bought a new one and then made a big deal about how the new alternator also whines.
Well, I'm an idiot and it wasn't the alternator. I've just removed all the drive belts and the engine is still whining. It's coming from somewhere in the area, so what could it be? The noise started suddenly some months ago.
It sounds a bit like gear whine. You know, the sound that straight cut gears make? Or the sound of a supercharger.
Looking for some of your ideas on what you all think it might be.
