Default Whinning noise from engine?

I looked at a mustang today and when i poped the hood and reved it alittle the engine "whined" and it was like u couldn't tell the engine reved down (dont think that matters but). What could the "whinning" noise be and is it bad?? It isn't very loud and u can only hear it when ur close to the engine.

Throw out bearing will cause it to whine. If it is not the belt.
