Check the level of your power steering fluid. That has a similar whine if your low.

Wouldn't power steering whine when the wheel is turned? This seems to be rpm dependant and wheel position is straight

Possible serpentine belt pulley/idler/tensioner bearings wearing out.

It could be what he is suggesting so to elimit that, take ur serpentine belt off ,but i dont think thats it but doesn't hurt to try. That sounds similar to a vacuum leak to but just through **** out there like the other guys.
