Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, more car stuff...
My boss asked if you could tell if it sounded like a motor, or like some other electrical noise? Or maybe a buzzer?
Also, on your car is the Accessory position when you turn the key to the left (of when you put the key in), and start is to the right? Or is the accessory position the first detent when you turn the key to the right (and engine run is the second detent, and engine start is a spring-loaded position past the engine run position.) We just want to make sure you're hearing the noise in the accessory position.
Also, can you narrow down where in the dash the noise is coming from?
Does your car have a CD player? The CD player might be trying to do something even if the radio's off.

tommy, you're such a god.
My boss asked if you could tell if it sounded like a motor, or like some other electrical noise? Or maybe a buzzer?
It doesn't sound like a motor to me. It's *very* high-pitched, to the point where I was sort of checking my ears last night to make sure they weren't bleeding. We honestly had no idea what it was until the electrical symptoms started happening, but we were pretty sure it wasn't the speakers or the A/C system.

The second. First turn (what you're calling Accessory position) gives power to stuff like the radio. The whine starts as soon as the key is turned to that first position.

Not really, but when I'm in the garage later, I'll try.

It has an in-dash 6-CD changer.

My car's CD player started making really strange noises when my battery was dying.

Speaking of cars...
sarameg, how easy/hard is it to navigate to and around Fells Point? I'm contemplating a trip because I'm having people for Twelfth Night and that seems to be the closest bakery that makes a Kings cake.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Happy Day of Shriftiness!! I hope it's wonderful!
Hooray for Kat and Lori announcing the twins! Isn't it lovely news?

My boss said it could be any number of weird things, like a warning buzzer that's somehow defective so instead of a buzz you hear a whine. We figure you'll just have to take it in. The fact that it's continuous should make it easier for them to find.

The battery was replaced a few months ago, so we ruled that out. And the car doesn't have any trouble starting, which should be the biggest pull on the battery.

I certainly hope so. I'm bringing it in tomorrow morning. Thanks for all of the help.

sarameg, how easy/hard is it to navigate to and around Fells Point?
I'd say it is pretty easy. Most everything is clustered along Broadway, the main drag. I'm usually coming from the north, which means I just take 83 south until it turns into Presidents Street and hang a left on Eastern. The only pain is parking (please note I hate parallel parking) but if you don't mind walkinga bit it isn't bad.
What's the bakery?
