Weird Whistling noise when car starts up or gases.

I havent had this happen to me before but when I start up my car, the second the ignition is on I hear this annoying whistling noise. I tried to get rid of it by pressing on the gas, but then it just gets louder....

my friend said it might be my started, but as im driving through the city, I can hear it when I turn while gasing and going on a green from a dead stop...


anyone had this problem?

I have the same issue but it really sounds like my alternator. My when I run my AC, headlights, and stock system all at once the radio cuts out and dash lights flicker. Windows take forever to roll up. Anything?

I have a funny whistling sound but only when i get about 1/4 on the gas. It almost sounds like a very low turbo spool. (Yes i know what that sounds like, i drove an eclipse gs-t before my max). If i get on it anymore or less than that the sound goes away. Weird.
