if the pumps on its way out than you wont need to be turning the wheel for it to whine...maybe make a video it will make it easier to diagnose? could also be a whining transmission ya never know :shrug:

if its manual, it would be the trowout bearing thats making the noise. or a pulley in the engine.

This is probably a stupid answer so please if I'm wrong let me know.

But could a timing belt make that noise?

could be intake noise.

At least you don't have my car, it clunks on light decelleration (axle) and ratles between 3-4k (spun bearing or toast HLA, or FUBAR'ed WP pully)
