When you hear that whine, keep the revs constant and swith the aircon switch off - it will immediately disappear. and come back when you switch it on again.

Only really happens when the aircon compressor is running constantly...mostly on hot days or first startup and the temperature being set low.

Car's going in next week to check.

Please confirm if you can replicate the same ?
+1 confirmation of this behavior, was debating posting this issue, but now I don't have to. I still don't like the noise though, takes too long to get the hair back down on my neck and it is a bit unsettling...
