Thread: Why is there a whining noise from the engine area?

I have noticed a whining noise coming from my engine when the car is in park. If I hit the gas and rev the engine the noise fluctuates. Kinda sounds like it might be a belt or pulley. Car is a 2009 Honda Odyssey with 23k miles.

I'm fairly sure that's probably the fan belt slipping, however i don't know how to fix it. I would suggest taking it to a garage n see what they can do

Although many things can cause this, but usually a power steering pump will whine when low on fluid.

probably needs one of these, water,oil,steering fluid or aa new fan belt, or gearbox
