Hey all,

First post. My 2002 Tahoe makes an annoying and alarming whine noise from a cold start that will go away once it has warmed up. I can then turn it off and on as many times as I want and there is no noise. The noise has been there a long while, but it is now getting worse as it takes longer for it to go away. If I give it fuel from idle the whine/whistle will sometimes get louder until it stops but then when the RPM's go back down the noise will come back again.

Here https://anonfiles.com/file/42b02fc9ca89525cb9c590416f2c4e1c is a .zip of an audio recording I made of it that is about 1½ min long in hopes someone can identify what is making that awful racket.

Thanks,
V
