Loud whistle from engine bayHi GuysI have this serious sound coming from my engine bay. Hard to describe, but if i had to, it sounds like a loud whistle. Imagine your gate un-greased. It gets louder at higher rpms. Almost disappears when engine temperature is at half.Have taken her to a few mechs, but no one seems to be able to give me a definite answer, instead i have been asked to leave the car there while they troubleshoot it. Closest answer i have got is an alternator issue.Please have a look here and tell me what you think... oh, and the "very bad man d sound" was me talking to d neighbour..hehe[video=youtube;pZjsYLoqR0c]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZjsYLoqR0c[/video]
 
Solved!

Done. Changed the alternator. Also got rid of morning startup squeaks and rattles, changed air-cond belt and tensioner belt.

Many thanks to posters
