Re: whining noise

it could be your steering pump or your alternator.

Is it front, L/R, behind? Windows open? GF/Mother? Oops, sorry! Are you turning the steering wheel when you hear it? Check the steering pump fluid level. (See BangNgears). Or through the Stereo? Does it whine in proportion to the rpm? Check your battery voltage/fluids.

Also, check to see if your alternator is under a Nissan recall campaign.
