The has a whining noise which is heard on super smooth roads only.

On the open highway I cant hear the noise or there is none.
There is no noise when the car is stpped and the engine is revd or left idling

Where does it sound like the noise is coming from? Does it change pitch when your brake? Turn the wheel side to side?

It could be a bad wheel bearing, tire, an accessory belt or pulley, or even a cracked windshield.

When I brake the noise disappears it is only heard at low speeds on a very smooth road.
Have tried pumping the tyres up to see if that was the reason but no difference.
No noise when i turn the front wheels from side to side.
The noise appears to be coming from the front of the engine altho hard to say.
