Annoying whining from car :(
This started happening like yesterday and got worse today, 1st and 2nd gear you cant hear it but by third gear and up to 6th I get this annoying as hell whine coming from like the center of the dash, its only when I am pushing the gas pedal though and it doesnt make any noise when the car is rolling at the same speed in neutral, any ideas what this could be? I have new gears but I broke them in properly and now have 1200 miles on them, also I had the differential and transmission fluid changed about 200 miles ago, I am very upset I had the car perfect and now this happens ugh
..Any help is appreciated guys thanks

I had a similar problem recently with a whine towards the rear. First thought was the rear gears (new Z06 carrier). Closer look by ECS found out that it's one of my tires. Broke a steel belt in the tire.
However, I had the same issue in either neutral or drive.
I don't know anything up front that doesn't turn with the engine, however, what about your torque tube bushings?
Keep us posted if you find anything.

I just dont see how it can be the gears I dont even drive the car that hard and I broke them in so well, I am thinking that the fluid that STS put in my differential when I had it changed is no good?..The sound appears to be coming from the center console right by the shifter but I read that that can still be the gears just traveling sounds up the torque tube, it was worse last night than ever before perhaps the temperature? I dont know.
