I have an '03 LX470 with 26G miles....AND THE SAME PROBLEM!!!! This began a couple of weeks ago and I thought, for sure, the engine or transmission was 'going' and I would end up stranded. I called my Service Writer and had the car flatbedded to the dealer. They kept the truck for 3 days and told me that they don't hear the whine.
To me, it sounds like a wind tunnel...mostly from a standstill and at low speeds. I know that this is a new 'sound' and that the truck is just is different.
I have an appointment tomorrow morning for the Service Manager to ride with me...but, I'm guessing they will tell me that it is 'normal'. I'm going to insist on driving another truck and see where that goes.
At least I know I'm not alone with this problem! If you'd like an update, post a reply or email me.
