this sound started up 2 days ago.
it whines at idle, rev, in gear, out of gear
moving the steering wheel does not change the pitch of the sound
the sound is coming more in the general direction of the ps pump

theres also a "chinging" sound coming from the front of the motor as well, the crank pully wobbles a tiny bit. this sound started about a week ago

ive searched, found a few threads, none with definate answers,
heres a vid

found out what it was for anyone needing this info in the future.

my a/c doesnt work, so i decided to cut the belt off. whining and chinging went away

was either the idler pully or the a/c
