How many miles on the car?
If you don't have a mechanic's stethoscope, you can use a socket extension or a screwdriver to listen to various components for that whine. That is, of course, assuming all the things that spin, spin freely. I heard a whining noise, some years ago, and have replaced the water pump, the alternator and the belt tensioner.
The quitting may be a fuel problem, like the filter clogging or the pump is going. Neither whine, but there may be more than one issue.
