strange engine sound -- help
 
Ok guys so here's a weird one. I drive a Pontiac Grand Prix. Sometimes, after very hard cornering, my engine will make a strange whining sound that correlates with engine speed, but it will usually go away after a few minutes. The whine kind of sounds like the engine in this video (but a little less high pitched): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7avJsGRk6jE

Any ideas what it is? And why does it go away? It's so strange... No mods on the car either.

your gf got you that supercharger you always wanted!

Hahaha and it only kicks in after turning really hard ;)
I honestly can't figure it out. It almost does sound like a (chitty) supercharger, but it's not so high pitched, and it has something about it that doesn't sound quite right. It scares me when it happens.

just a shot in the dark but could you be low on power steering fluid?
