whining sound on the move.....Help

Dear Evom,

My car started to develop a very weird whining sound. That happens while cruising, accelerating and sometime just rolling. The sound is independent of any gear and is consistent in loudness. Even with the clutch pressed, or out of gear, its there and it only stops when the car is about to come to a halt.

the sound is coming from the left front end of the car and cant determine the actual source due to the fact it only appears while moving at higher speeds and stays afterwards even of am just rolling while off the gas peddle, and again it goes away just before the car comes to a halt.

what also is driving me crazy is that i drove during the day and nth was there. then i went out after it started raining and it started to happen. Moreover, the sound is not always present, and when its there and i go on a rough surface it goes away.

I know it seems weird as i check every possible thing in the engine bay with no luck of find sth loose or out of order.

really appreciate the help guys

Search youtube for 'transfer case death whine'.

That is the first thing that pops into my head with your symptoms. I do not mean to scare you if I am incorrect, but compare the youtube videos to what you are experiencing.

Also guys let me clear one things the sound is not always there i stop the car and start driving again with no sounds.

When it starts it starts after am already on the move and going higher in the speed but not just when i starts moving it. like i put it in 1st and go (no sound) 2nd (nth) 3rd it starts to make the sound (not always though) but when it starts it stays until the car is almost at a halt or even barely moving.
