Possible pulley or pump whine?
Im hoping that it's something minor like a pulley rather than the transfer case Has anyone experienced this noise? https://youtu.be/bOLa_KWbsUk

Do you mean the ever-so-slight moaning sound?


I listened 3x and do not hear a whine...

Lol yeah sure. I thought it was the power steering pump, but now I'm thinking it's the idler pulley.

Mine is doing the same noise. It's a 2013 GSR. The dealer took a look at it and said it was "normal" which I don't buy. I'm going to take it Kozmic near where I live, I feel they will be better suited for a proper diagnostic,

Update: It was my air box, it got unclipped from the bottom of the box, didn't notice until I changed my air filter and the noise went away. Car even feels like it got a few ponies back.
