Default Loud whining noise

For the past couple days my cherokee has been making a really loud whining noise. I mean it's LOUD. It appears to happen when idling. It also seems to come from around the intake manifold, but I'm not too sure on specifics.

Can you elaborate? Is it going out? What component of it would make that sound? It seems to be working fine...

Turns out it was a vac fitting that was being squeezed, so the air going through it made that horrible noise. Gotta love easy, free fixes.

Remove the neighbor's cat from under the intake manifold. Should quiet down nicely.
