When I’m cruising at any speed really I can hear a whining noise coming from the front passenger side of the car. If I let off throttle it immediately goes away but once I get back on it comes back. This only happens when I give it enough to just stay at the speed I’m currently at. If I give it more throttle I don’t hear it anymore until I let off a little. Not sure if this is normal or not. Only mod is Airaid intake.
I tried to get a video of it but you couldn’t hear it in the video but I can definitely hear it and my fiancé says she can too but barely.

Do you hear it at idle?
How old is your motor belt?
Remove the motor belt and spin each pulley by hand, to see if one has a bad bearing.
Did you upgrade the supercharger isolator yet?

Sounds familiar. Leave the gf/wife at home and try again.
I take the truck out instead every time I take the wife out now.

Can’t hear it at idle no.
Not sure on belt age.
Okay
Not sure just got the car 2 weeks ago from dealer.
At idle there is no noise that’s not Normal and if you give it a little bit of throttle you can’t hear it either if you’re not moving.

Possible bad motor mount, stressing under load.

It doesn’t drive weird or anything it’s just an annoying sound to hear. I’ll have to check out all the pulleys and the mounts!

Tried to recreate the sound in park by reving it up to like 1500 and putting a piece of wood on it to hold it there and going to front of car. Didn’t hear the noise. Must just be a cruising thing.

From the driver's seat, it is often hard to localize sounds. You should get in the back seat and have someone else drive so you can focus on figuring out where the sound is coming from. Based on your description, my first thought was just simple old gear whine. That'll tend to make the most noise when lightly loaded. And it'll be a high pitched whine. Distinct from the "you're driving to fast" and "you're driving too jerky" and "you're making me nauseous" whine that you fix by wearing earplugs or turning up the stereo or driving alone (at least, that's how I fixed mine).

Had my brother in law ride with me to see if he could hear it. He says it’s coming from the back of the car so I’m going with rear end now 😅
