So I just noticed tonight as I had my radio off which I never do, but when I accelerate I hear a whining from my engine, almost like a supercharger whine, just not as loud as I can't hear it with the radio on but I can hear it over my exhaust system. It did it as it was warming up and after it was warm. Is this just a normal thing I never noticed before, or what? 2005 4.6L, 60,300 miles.

Sounds like your power steering box. Only reason I say that is mine did the same thing. It was 100$ fer mine and took a half hr to do. They get louder. Especially when it's warm out

That would have been the last thing I thought of, it whines just from acceleration? Alright I'll check it out then. Thanks Joe!

Ford's have noisy power steering pumps- always have. Its normal to some degree unless it gets SUPER loud. And yes it will be varied on accel since its driven by the accessory belt of the enigne
