since i bought my envoy last october, i've noticed that it has a whining noise coming from the engine. i've
always thought i just had one of those engines that makes a weird noise. but now i'm tired of hearing it and want to find out what it is.
it increases and decreases pitch with rpms.
its not the power steering; turning has no effect.
its not the belt; just changed it this evening and the noise is still there.
could it be the tensioner assembly? i noticed a slight wobble/vibration a few weeks ago, but cranked on the bolt which stopped the wobble.
its, really not that loud. if the radio is on, i don't hear it. (its still there, but moderate volume masks it)
it can be heard best from inside the vehicle, with windows up. if i stick my head over the engine, the noise
sounds like it might be coming from the passenger side.
any help would be appreciated. i'll try and record it tomorrow and post it on here.
