The winey noise? Could be one of your belts, like your alternator belt?

It could be:

1) As above.

2) Water pump.

3) Alternator.

Suggest that you use a 'listening stick' to pinpoint it - A length of dowel or a long screwdriver held against the above items, with your ear on the other end. Works wonders!

Regards.
