Default whining noise under heavy throttle

I did a search but there seem to be a lot of different opinions, can some one clear up for me?

my situation is under heavy throttle, i can hear high pitch noise inside the cabin, not sure where it is from and it will go away after a second and come back. the noise will go if i remove my foot off the accelerator padel or under very light throttle.

thanks in advance

A "whining" noise usually indicates a tranmission problem, often the differential. Best to get an experienced mechanic to listen to it, and the sooner the better.

sounds like the diff might be low on oil. how many kms? it gets dirty and needs to be replaced at the major services

she's done 90000 kms, and diff oil changed on 80000km.
the noise seems to be there the time i bought the car, then i got the car checked by nrma overall couple of weeks ago with no problems found.

Sorry Gazzer. Just talking my sense of humour out for a stroll.

The old 'I gotta noise' problem is pretty hard to diagnose online. Unless you can tell where it's coming from, and/or if it is only whilst driving (As opposed to out of gear) then I got nothing but wisecracks.
