I live in MN and its darn cold out! I have noticed, over the last month or so, that when my vehicle is running, there is a constant whining noise. It's almost like the fuel pump is going out or is really loud. I thought for some stupid reason it might be the sync computer system, but if I turn the radio off, the noise doesn't go away. I really notice it when I'm driving down the highway, and I exit and come up to the light. I was thinking that is most likely the fuel pump, because when fuel pumps heat up, they some times make more noise, but the issue with this idea, is that it makes the noise right when I start it up as well. Its an 08 with 6k on it. Anyone else having or had this issue?
Thanks!
I own an 08' Edge and no whinning noise. That said I did just drop it off at the dealership for different prob (rear passenger door latch CLANKING niose only when its cold out). So while they had my car in the shop they gave me a rental 08' Edge from Hertz rental and that one did have a very loud distinguishable high pitch noise to it. Something I noticed that made that Edge different from my own is that Hertz places a GPS module in their cars. Whether the GPS was on or off that high pitch noise was present and very annoying!
When I shut off the heat (ventalation knob pointing straight up) then the noise went away.
Perhaps it is nothing more than a poor ground from the GPS unit or somehow related to the heating system.
Any one have a whining noise?

Hope that evaluation helped you out!
