    Do you hear the noise like if it would be a loud whistling that comes from the air filter system? Does it reduce the sound when A/C is activated? Try hearing if the sound comes from this place. Take out the air filter system and listen the origin of the sound an let us know. If you can, with the hand, try to block the air pass to the motor to chek if this calms the sound. If this happens may be you shoul just make and adjustment to the air vents of the motor but please do this thing first and let us know.

Loud whining noise especially on exceleration in 2010 Mazda Tribute
A loud whining noise on acceleration in a 2010 Mazda Tribute could be a sign of a few different issues. Here are some potential causes:
  1. Power steering pump: A whining noise can be an indication of a failing power steering pump. The noise may increase when the steering wheel is turned.
  2. Alternator: If the whining noise increases with engine speed, the alternator may be failing. This is because the alternator is responsible for charging the battery and powering the car's electrical system.
  3. Transmission: A whining noise during acceleration could also be a sign of transmission issues, such as low transmission fluid levels, worn bearings, or a damaged gear.
  4. Differential: A whining noise that increases with speed could also be a sign of a failing differential. This is the part of the car that transfers power from the engine to the wheels.
It's important to have a professional mechanic diagnose and fix the issue to prevent further damage to your vehicle.

High pitched whine
check condition of drive belt and check tension of the belt as it may be slipping under load at revs.

1999 ford explorer limited whining noise in front end
Whining noise is probably in one of the pulleys or belts. Probably the power steering. And the popping is probably CV axles.

03 Windstar makes a whining noise when idling and turning. Sounds like it is coming from steering column. Power steering fluid level is good.
When you checked the power steering fluid level were there any indications of excessive foaming? There are three things that would cause a whining noise from the power steering. 1- low fluid (you checked that so that is not the culprit), 2- loose steering drive belt (you should not be able to press down on the belt more that about one inch between the steering pump pulley and the crankshaft pulley), 3- power steering pump bearing worn out.
