car is making a strange whine at any rpm over 2000. no power loss just really annoying. doesn't matter if the ac is on or if the steering wheel is cranked to one side or the other... any ideas? Car has 160000 miles, brand new injection pump, serp belt and tensioner. car has been doing this since i bought it around 15000 miles ago

How loud is this whine? Can you hear it with the windows up? With the radio on?
