Default Whining XJR

I have a 2000
XJR. I have a constant whine under the hood. It seems to come
from the passenger side. It begins on start up. It goes
up in frequency with acceleration. Practically disappears
at highway speed as frequency is so high. No warning
lights or other symptoms. Anyone with any ideas?
Thanks so much.

Sounds like either the belt(s) or tensioner.
Pour a LITTLE bit of water on the belt with the engine at idle, if it shuts up, its that belt.
