Wow what weird noise!
I was in the 95 diesel today on the highway (95 north in RI) cruising like only she can about 80 mph and I start hearing a loud whirring noise. So I Start shutting things off like the radio, blower and wipers and the noise is still there. I get to my destination and stop the car and pop the hood. Nothing readily apparent but when I turned my lights back on the loud whirring started again even with the car off.
I usually drive with the fogs on as my daytime driving lights so now I know what drives the noise. It seems to come from the front right side of the engine compartment. Can it be alternator related?

Probably your thermostatically-controlled auxiliary fan.

Yeah, daytime driving lights are not safer, and can sometimes aim into another driver's eyes at the wrong time. Mostly a ploy for the private industry to sell more bulbs.

Problem solved. I saw that my washer reservoir was low so I filled it up and tried the lights again. I saw blue fluid flying out the front end of the car while sitting inside.........the head light washer system is shorting out from the light switch. I pulled the connector off and it stopped. gotta bet a mouse caused this.
