I bet it could be the powersteering pump. they start whining like that.

My 91 4.3 has always had a faint whine. Ive learned to ignore it.

That was far better audio than usual for the type.

I heard singing idler/tensioner pulley bearings.
Loosen belt and spin those and the AC pulley. If they sing and spin free like a skate bearing and have some lateral slop replace them soon.
