It starts as soon as I turn the key the first notch, before the engine starts.
It's not coming over the radio speakers, is it?

It's not related to the heater fan, is it?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Does the radio turn off when you honk the horn?

Nope.

I don't think so. It persists when everything is turned off -- audio system, heater, etc.

Does it happen when you turn the key to the Accessory position?

Yes.
Googling (and you) seems to suggest that alternator whine should increase when the engine's running at higher speed. I may need to sit in my garage and test it a little.
The other thing googling suggests is that alternator whine can bleed into the sound system, but since the whine isn't actually coming from the speakers, I'm hoping I can eliminate that.

What is even happening?

Please don't run your car in your garage. I don't even have independent confirmation of your singing, yet.

Our wings are not tired.
I've heard Dana sing. It is a lovely memory. Um, yeah, no running the car in the garage.

It's fine if you have the garage door open wide.

Thanks for the birthday wishes! I have to figure out how to celebrate today. So far I've got "wait to clean the bathroom until tomorrow" and "watch Friday Night Lights."
