Then that would rule out a pulley, tensioner, vacuum leak and quite a few other engine components.
Most likely driveline related. Transmissions can make a high-pitched whistle noise in a specific speed band, whereas diffs., transfer cases are more likely to make a lower-pitched whine or hum.
Try driving in manual mode and see if it really is rpm related or in fact mph related.
