I hear it at low RPMS, especially when in park...It seems to be RPM generated, though, because the pitch of it will change as the engine is revved slightly. This just started a couple of days ago and is annoying the crap out of me. Anyone have this problem or know of what it is?

Could be the alternater. That was what my chevy was doing and I change the alternator and the whining was gone

I have the exact same problem, it gets worse when the a/c is on,I think its a loose belt.

because what else is RPM related and could make a whining noise? Also just seems like somethign electrical. Is the noise a sign that the alternator is going bad? I wouldn't be too surprised because I do ahve a system and have had issues with RPMS dipping when the bass hits hard at idle. How much is a new alternator? Any chance I can replace this myself?


thanks,

aLT RUNS AROUND 100. IT IS POSSIBLE TO DO YOURSELF. FAIRLY SIMPLY - JUST REQUIRES LIKE TWO TOOLS... YOU COULD PROB FIND MORE INFO ION NET OVER IT. I CAN QUARANTEE A GOOD DEAL IF YOU GET THE ALT THREW CARPARTS.COM, OTHERWISE AUTOZONE - ETC..... NISSANS WOULD BE WAY TO EXPENSIVE.. AND YOU MIGHT OUT TO GET A NEW BELT AT THE SAME TIME... WHATS IT GOING TO HURT? BUT WHAT COULD YOU GAIN? ENJOY
