the wine is more pronounced now under hard throttle with the new Spark plugs. Just another reason to do a good 0-60 Vid soon. the whine is in tune with engine RPM The higher the RPM the louder it is. Before you say alternator i i experience no light or power fade except with door locks.

Agreed, that small of a hole shouldn't make any difference. And if you have a whine then you have something causing it because you shouldn't have a whine.

Unless you got a turbo or supercharger hiding somewhere.

no whine unless you hammer it into high RPM Trans fluid is fine oil is fine when i first started driving it my mechanic said the tranny was weak but all issues have disappeared all belts are good my A/C Compressor is the only abnormal thing. it has always whined for me it sounds like i have a muffled supercharger. normal driving or cruising no whine.

You can get to the bottom of it by putting some duct tape over the hole and seeing if the whine persists or is gone when your out and about the next time....
