Default Whining

Whenever I'm driving there's a whining noise coming from the engine. I can't understand what it is and it's gotten to where it drives me crazy. It's not the whine from the power steering and it stops once I get above 4k RPMs
Anyone know what it is/how to stop it?

Thanks for any help

Power steering fluid says it's above full...and there's a different whine when I corner hard, which I think is specifically the power steering. This whining is constant when I'm under 4k RPMs.

An I've got a MTX (manual)

It doesn't do it in neutral, so it must be the tranny then...
Bad news?

Mine sounds like it's coming from the exhaust, like underneath
