Engine Whine

Not sure if its the nature of the beast, but I hear this whine sound when I rev almost like low steering fluid and the pump is starving. Yes my steering fluid is up!
Its a 2011 550i N63 motor
Help anyone?

I have seen oil pumps cause a similar noise to what you describe.

My 550 does it at low speed when a/c is on. When I turn a/c off, it seems to go away...

I am experiencing a whine on my 2011 535 as well. Have an appointment to get it looked at tomorrow, as well as a failed windshield washer pump.

Update. So took my car to the dealeriship and did an oil change, as well as update all the software to every module in the car and bam!!
Engine is more responsive, and the whine is gone!
Not sure what it is but i didn't use to hear it all the time.
i give up!
