Hmm. Only whining noise I've ever from inside a car were from the speakers. My 96 Accord used to emit a whining noise through the speakers that would be in sequence with the engine rpms until I bought a new stereo and 4 new speakers. Has something to do with a bad ground.
He already covered this...the whining is from the alternator. An electrode breaks inside the alternator and feeds current back into the solenoids...somehow creating a whining noise. They usually go at 100-120k miles. mine went at 150.
