Almost sounds like the weird noise the cartoon Jetson's car makes.

I cannot figure it out. Wheel bearing? If so, why does it sound like it's coming from the dash area?

Speedometer cable, does this car even have one?

It just recently started making this noise. Have had the car for three years. Second owner.

Good morning,

Can you post or upload a video of the noise so I can hear what you hear?

Will try to get one. It's my son's car.

He also said today the security light came on. Not sure if its just a steady on or blinking.

Car is still running but we have no idea the root cause or if the noise and security light issue are related or not.

So now it sounds like security light went off this afternoon.

Here is a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoNj_StpSvg

Focus in on the whining or whirling sound.....

Sure there is. You are just not hearing it.

20 to 25 second accelerates and 25 to 28 decelerates.

You need to charge the battery and then start it and check the charging system.
