cooling fan? haha thats very possible actually. try turning your key to the on position but not starting it when you have had it running for a while and the engine is hot. the fan should be on, and if thats the same noise you are hearing when you are driving then its normal

anymore ideas. its not the cooling fan. and its not a whining noise. its a deep sound. almost like a clarinet playing a deep note.
it might just be a midget playing in my engine

Is your Air Conditioning on???? It could be your compressor working that is what mine sounds like. Especially if it is really hot like it is in AZ been in the 100's lately
