Whine (noise that is)
 
Quick question when I am driving down the road I hear a whine/squeal coming from the front end and it gets louder if I press on the gas? and ideas?

Louder as the engine revs, as the car goes faster, just pressing the pedal, what?

It gets louder as I press on the pedal i don't think it's the trans though? I was wondering if it was something else on the front end

if its really high pitched it could be the power steering pump...

i took my car to get looked at because it was whistling at high rpm and it turns out the dipstick on the cap of the steering pump broke off, fell into the pump, and got chewed up in the gears, causing a leak and a lot of damage. For some reason when the pump was all broken it began to whistle... i dont know for sure if this is what your problem is, but you might as well check to see if you still have a dipstick under your pump's cap

Every Power Steering Pump will Wine if it has no Fluid.

whine
 
if you can't get it to whine in neutral,
it could be the front differential or the transmission

this probably is not your problem as your whine gets louder as you give it more gas

thanks dwayn
