I recently had a smililar problem with a "whinny sound" coming from my engine, but the car ran perfectly and I couldn't find the origin of the sound. Then a month or so later I found out the hard way.
The sound became a screech...within seconds the smell of burning rubber, then my dash lights all came on.
I pulled over opened the hood to see a belt melted and broken. The noise I'd been hearing was caused by the bearings on the idler arm pulley slowly failing until it seized. Not a big deal depending on where you are when it happens.
