Its either the speedo cable or clocks frozen. I used to get this too. Id Replace the speedo cable 1st

It might also be the milage counter. When it does it see if your miles count away or stick.

i noticed that the needle on the speedo started wibbly wobbling a bit when it makes the whirring noise.  think i'll get myself a new speedo cable.  not a great problem considering it's 16 years old huh..

usually the noise is from the cable rubbing against something as it rotates. eventually the cable either wears out a notch in rubbing against. but if its rubbing against metal it'll be there for a long while!
