Welcome Ben,

I used to have a whining noise coming from my car, turns out that it was a pretty severe vacuum leak next to the pancake pipe.

No sure if I would class the turbo spooling as a whining noise.

I get a little bit of whining from my engine. I thought it would either be alternator or a tensioner somewhere.

I would check the steering as low fluid will put extra stress on the rack/pump/belt and cause it whine in my view.
