Why is my Audi A5 making a whining noise when I accelerate?

I recently purchased a 2016 Audi A5 and I've noticed a high-pitched whining noise whenever I accelerate. It doesn't seem to affect the performance of the car, but I'm curious about what could be causing it.

It's possible that you may have a belt or pulley issue.

Another potential cause could be a problem with your transmission.

You may also want to have your exhaust system checked, as a leak or loose component can also cause a whining noise.
