In need of expert advice on what to do. My car, a camry '98 model has been making a whirring sound for some time now once the engine starts running. It is only perceptible in the cabin, not noticeable outside even with the hood open. I have taken it to mechs, says its not big deal, but the noise is becoming annoying.

check d bearings holding d alternator/ac compressor belts. I strongly suspect one is bad

Thanks. will do that.

u may need to tighten the belt connecting alternator etc as well

You are at the point. I had similar problem with my 2004 camry recently and had to search forums. I narrowed the case to my ac clutch bearing. Went and bought rachets, swivel joints and sockets and changed the entire ac compressor neatly and every thing is intact.

hello, the culprit was the steering wheel pump. i had it replaced and end of noise.
