I have a whine that has developed recently that starts quietly at around 15mph and gets "faster" or changes in tone the faster the car is moving, but is unaffected by RPM, if I take the car out of gear it is still doing it.
It seems to get quieter or go away for a minute or so after driving above 60 on the motorway, but that could just be my ears. It sounds completely centralised, but it's always difficult to work out where a sound is coming from in the cab.
It's really obvious and loud in person, I got my passenger to try and film it with my phone (Which took three attempts to get the bloody speedo in shot!) I can hear it in the video most obviously when I let go of the accelerator and the car slows down, the pitch of the whine drops, just to be clear this is really quite loud, the video doesn't do it justice! Aircon/fans are off.
As it's independent of engine RPM, could it be something to do with the wheels? It almost sounds like an air intake whooshing sound too. the garage thought it was brake pads on the rear wheels binding and had them stripped and cleaned but it still does it.
