Default Whining noise when accelerating (added video)

I have a whining noise coming from the front, sounds like a supercharger but not as high pitched, and it only makes the noise in 1st or second while accelerating from a stop or slow roll (5mph) and it stops making the noise when it goes into 3rd or it goes faster than 20mph. Idle sounds fine, and in neutral there is no whine. Any ideas?[/align]

Edit: i have an automatic

Here is a video I just took of the noise

Probably your transmission. Maybe flushing it with some new fluid would work. I would think its a bearing or a syncro. thats if you have a man. if its an auto then i wouldnt know, maybe change the fluids?

Check your power steering pump and fluid. They will whine like that when you first take off when they start to go bad or get low on fluid.
