Where under teh car is it coming from? Could be any number of things. Front - belts? Middle - Trans Rear - Rear end. What type of whine? Only while driving or when stopped as well? In drive, all gears? IF manual, when clutch is out, in?

It is an automatic, and it only happens when I am moving. It sounds like the driveshaft. I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas what it might be. 

Never heard of a driveshaft whining... but I won't say it's not possible. My bet would be the trans.

I had a whine coming from my rear end - it only whined as I applied slight power to maintain speed in the 30 to 40 mph speed range ... had the rear end worked on (pinion gear?) and it is fine now ...
