Hi all,

Can't begin to tell you how much I love this site. Most times you have answered all my questions before i've ever needed to post but i can't find a thread that matches the problem I have this time.

I'll add as much detail as I can. I have a 2008 Holden Commodore Ve Sportswagon that seems to make a whinning noise from the engine compartment. The whine only occurs at a certain speed (regardless of acceleration or revs), around 50km/h. It occurs at this speed and is more notable when the car is slowing but is there when the car is accelerating. Anyone have any idea as to what this might be, and no, it isn't the passenger!

When it whines swerve left to right (safely). Does the noise change? Does the noise increase when braking?

What brand of tyres?

Continues to whine even when turning. The noise does not change. It does not increase when braking. Only occurs at around 50kmh?
