^ I thought my diff was making the noise we had, but confirmed not by the master.

Meanwhile, good luck finding the noise!

When does the sound happen.
does it make it when stationary.
if the cars not turned on in neutral and you push, does it make the noise.

Try all the little tricks to find the cause.

Yep, as above, when does it make the noise? Driving straight or cornering? What speeds?

Whirring at speed is usually a shot inner cv.

the car did make the noise stationary yesterday morning, but yesterday driving along, at any speeds it made it, and putting the car in neutral and reving it, the more revs the more it spinds and whirs,
it actually kinda sounds like a small turbo spooling up :/

sounds like an input shaft bearing if it's whirring in Neutral. possibly even a pulley. You'd be amazed at how oddly sound will travel through a car. A lot of subies will sound and feel like a Front Left bearing is shot, when in fact it's the Rear Right. (stupid machines)
I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!

until then:
1. 2001 Merc-Benz A160 (porta-loo on wheels)
2. 2007 Peugeot 307 TDi (more fun than you'd expect)
3. [url=ttp://ftoaustralia.com/v3/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=25373]2009 Mitsubishi Triton Di-D (a monster in its own right)[/url]
4. 1992 Nissan NX Coupe (club car and project car)
5. 1996 Holden SB Barina - "The Nugget"
6. 1996 Jeep XJ Cherokee Sport - The Budget Build
7. 2010 Toyota Landcruiser 76 Series - V8 Goodness... - Build coming soon.
8. 1990 Audi 90 manual - The delightfully dignified daily driver

Is it an auto? The noise you describing gets louder the more rpm you have? Most likely transmission shards of metal is blocking up your oil pump causing the high pitch whine. Common on autos that are on it's last legs.

Noise is intermittent.

Yeah never as it's a storage issue. I have heard a lancer and magna do it though.
