Default Noise from my engine

Was wondering if anyone would happen to know on what could be causing my motor to have this whistling sound. I have a 94 integra, ls with about 100k miles on it. Any intellegent ideas will be appreciated!

Gees, I was just about to post a thread exactly like this! I have this on and off high pitch whistle from the back of the engine bay for two months now. Anybody know what it is?
Mine is 94 GSR with 97k miles

I noticed my AEM intake whistles at certain rpm. Do you guys have an intake?

Nope, bone stock here. And the whistle is rpm-independent. You can here mostly clearly when idling. One thing I forgot to mention is that it never whistled when the engine is cold.

The only thing I can think of is a belt? I don't know, sorry.

I have that too. A light whistling from the driver-firewall side of the engine bay? I think it's just a bearing getting old, though I've never had anyone comment on it, including mechaics, so I just think I'm being over paranoid.

Could also be timing...I know that some cars make a whistleing type sound at highway speeds when the timing of the valves need to be reset.
