Loose belts, loose or worn diff gears, worn front cv outdrive cups especially if you have a front spool. its not uncommon for a sakuta to have a whine to it but it is throughout the whole rpm range. if its acceleration and it goes away you have probably correctly identified that the car has a problem.
