I have a '98 Oldsmobile Cutlass...and after I drive for over 30 minutes it starts making this kind of electrical whirring noise and it's driving me crazy...the only way to block it out is to turn up the radio. What is it and how do I fix it...is there anything I can do? It sounds really bad...my friends kinda worry when we're riding around and it starts doing that...they think we're going to breakdown. HELP!!!

No way you can get to a parking lot when this "whirring" noise starts ?? Might try parking and opening the hood and have a good look and listen.

Is it a constant sound? Does it change with engine RPM? If it doesn't and is a constant drone, I would give the fuel pump a listening to.

I had the same problem with my honda accord. I had my battery changed last week and haven't heard the noise since...
