Has anyone else had a problem with their vibe making a high pitch noise coming from the engine compartmnet?It seems to only happen when the car is over 3000 rpm ,when I press on the gas to over take someone theres a noise that sounds like a whine or whistle that I can hear for a bit then it stops I let go of the gas let it get down to 80k ,then I hit the accerlateror and its there again .The noise is also there when I hit the acc. hard in neutral so I don't think its the tranny ,but I can be wrong .

maybe a hose is loose or leaking? check your hoses for holes/cuts or if they came loose. Have someone rev the car up a little with the hood open and you try to hunt it down.I suppose it could be a belt too...
No probs there .Matched it 99.9% to the colour of the car.They blended it in cause the rest of the car is 3 1/2 years old.I'm the only one who notices the .1% cause its my car and I polish it 2-3 times a month and wash it 1-3 times a week depending on the weather.But back to the whine of the car.My wife had the car today as she wasss the one bringing the car in and she said it didn't make the noise today .So I will have to take a run with it Wednesday and check it out,I didn't have a chance to look at the airbox cause it was raining all weekend.I'll keep yah posted .

I have a similar issue with my 2003 Envy Vibe (automatic).
It started before I replaced my transmission, and is still there today, so it's not my transmission.
It's actually present at all times, but you can only hear in the back seat. When I hit 3000 rpm the whine kicks into high gear and permeates the entire car, but again louder in the backseat.
