See my profile,

This is my 2nd attempt to use the site, it was just "revamped"(I've been answering here over a year) it is complicated for "ME" now---I never used this Bill Gates stuff at all, until I was laid up with a broken foot with complications, I cannot figure out how to send pic (not that I need to send any for you. But sooner or later I will have to, for someone)

Back to you, I am hoping this makes it to you, as well as my past experiences with this site.

Does this sound continue after the car is STOPPED? And in PARK?

Have you investigated under the hood for its origination?

When it is making the sound, Have you/ could you DO DIFFERENT TASKS--such as touch the brakes--slow down and change into another gear selection--turn A/C on/ off--move controls ETC. ETC. TO MAYBE CHANGE THE PITCH to possibly narrow down the system making the noise?

GOOD LUCK REPLYING TO ME!
