I have just got a 2002 Honda Civic 1.6 i-vtec, it has got 50,000 miles on the clock, when inspecting the car and test driving it before I bought it there was no odd noises what so ever, I had another friend looking at the car also and he did not hear any whining when the car is stationary plus the sales garage said three is absolutely nothing wrong with it after asking a couple of times.

However after using the car over the weekend (20 miles at the most) there is a noticeable whining noise coming from the car, this happens when I am in neutral and my foot away from the clutch. Soon as I start pressing the clutch in or rest my foot on the clutch pedal the whining/squeaking goes. You can here it clearly outside the car when the doors are open.

There is a high pitch "whine" noise when travelling in 1st, 2nd gear when revs are around 3000rpm its hard to tell if this happens in higher gears as the road noise gets in the way, I am not sure if this is to do with the whining I have previously explained or if the engine does that any ways when travelling

Try to change the transmission fluid and see if the whine goes away
