Whining noise under acceleration

Whining noise under acceleration
I've had my maxima to a transmission shop over a pretty pronounced whining sound that comes under moderate to heavy throttle in 1-3rd gears. I also hear the noise (but much less) when breaking. The transmission shop said its not the transmission which I do believe but the noise still is very suspect and the car didnt always do it. Is there some other part in the drivetrain that could make such a loud whine under load?

Its a manual tranny. The whining noise is extremely loud in the interior. It overtakes the sound of the motor which is why im concerned. The sound does not appear unless the car is in motion. Its not tied to rpms.

it will because load is taken off the engine/drivetrain. The noise gets higher in pitch as the speed goes up until its too high to hear in 3rd gear. The same noise can be heard going lower in pitch under moderate breaking. The noise is much less pronounced in breaking.

Definitely check out the alternator. You might try removing the belt, starting the car, and running it for a few minutes to see if that stops the noise.

I have the same problem, I got a tube and put it right on the alt. and it was defainlty it. I am going to try change it tomorrow. I ordered a rebuilt from autzone online for 120 dollars with lifetime warranty. Does anyone have some tips doing the alternator?
Should i go from underneath it or try it from above?
