I hear a short whining noise when I give my car the gas, it seems to make the high pitch whine just till it gets through the first & 2nd gears, it is an automatic then goes away when my speed increases, but starts again after I have stopped & start again.

Could be a slipping belt in the motor. Open hood and listen while someone else gives it gas.
Also could be metal on metal grinding. I suggest having a mechanic take a look so you won't burn up your motor.
Possible bearing in one of the drive pulleys. I have changed numerous alternators for this noise. Take the belt off and start the car. If the noise goes away you know it will be pulley related and not transmission related. If noise goes away, spin all pulleys by hand to determine the defective/noisy one
A high pitched whine like that indicates a bad bearing. Water pump, power steering pump, accessory belt slipping, alternator bearing, or in the worst case scenerio, Transmission pump.
Here are the common causes or rear end noises
Constant high pitched whine at all speeds: Pinion Bearings or Ring gear carrier bearings
Whine at steady speeds or whines on deceleration: Rear end gear set is worn and will need to be replaced.
Rumbling type of noises are caused by wheel bearings or a tire with a separated cord.
Your noise is called over-run and its in the gearbox which is also the diff and thats the noise you are getting .
Its the meshing up of the crown wheel and pinion and the only way out of it is to replace the GEAR BOX ASSY with a S/Hand one as you dont get to many doing that noise.
Let me know how you get on. RON
I am assuming you mean a high pitched whine. a high pitched whine is usually a sign of low fluid. Check your transmission fluid. Then check your differential fluid. the plug in the middle of the diffrential, remove it and stick your finger in there, you should be able to feel oil. If you dont then you need to add some gear oil.
Check the idler and tensioner pullys for your serpentine belt. I suspect the whining noise heard earlier was due to the fact one was getting a bit stiff or rough turning. When you gave it that extra fuel, the sudden load may have finished it off. Sometimes they lock up, and sometimes they fall apart. Check those items first.
well it could be a few things but most likely you belt is sliping. That is very common and happens to all cars over the years if the belt is not changed. You should check it out. The belt could be bad but it could also be a bad pully. If you dont know what these parts are look them up on google. its very simple
