What kind of tranny do you have? A lot of 5 speeds make whining noises while driving.

Thats normal. When you downshift, the gearbox has to speed up, naturally making more noise.

Maybe a bad pulley bearing? I had a similar problem recently, and thats what solved it.

Wait! What type of throttle body? BBKs are notorious for whistling. My BBK whistles like crazy. Luckily the blower covers the noise in my car though.

Where is the sound coming from exactly, everyone can take there guesses but might not be guessing even the right area of the car, you have to be more specific. [patriot]
