Strange question...
I have noticed a whining noise coming from my engine
I think it is coming from the timing belt
I had it replaced about a month and half ago

Any idea as to what this is?
Thank you

    Other things that can whine (and vary with RPM):

    Dying alternator
    Serpentine belt
    Turbo
    Power steering pump (check fluid)
    Idler pulley

    I kinda doubt that it is really your timing belt - you can pull off the cover and check if it's rubbing against anything though. Make sure the tensioners are still keeping the belt nice & tight.

    The best thing you can do is pop the hood and use a piece of pipe or something as a stethoscope and try to pinpoint the location of the whining. Everything's kinda in the same area though.

    Is it making a noise like this?
