It DECREASES when I acellerate. The hood is bent in and held on by a bike lock until I have time to go to junk yard and purchase new hood and spend half a day at junk hard unbolting & rebolting new hood. It is not unsafe, not totally safe, but hood bangs on engine when I drive on frway, it could be a hose that is getting hit, dented and re-ruptured, but there was different sound before I replaced hose, this is high pitched whine, fact that it does go away when I accellerate and that still getting good mileage, no change in engine temperature or power seems like positive. I have very little money, where should I take it for honest, cheap inspection, surely not dealer?! I am in S. Cal. near San Diego.

This sounds like a possible wheel bearing.
