★ Top Answer
One of the main reasons your Chevy Silverado may make a whining noise while accelerating is likely due to a faulty power steering pump. This component is responsible for pressurizing fluid to assist with steering, and if it malfunctions, your vehicle may feel like it has manual steering. If your steering wheel becomes difficult to turn, check the power steering pump first. Look for leaks as well, as low fluid levels can harm the pump and lead to strange sounds. Symptoms of low power steering fluid include jerky steering feedback and a stiff wheel.

The power steering pump is often the culprit for the whining noise you may hear when accelerating in your Chevy Silverado. If the fluid level gets too low, it can cause a lot of noise. You need to check the fluid level and refill it to the factory fill line. There is also a possibility that the pump may need to be replaced.
