could be the drive belt sliping, try and spray some wd40 on to the belt, if it stops whining then the belt needs to be changed,,this is a good place to looking as belt are cheap..

I would suggest that if you spray WD40 or any other lubricant onto the belt then it will need changing!
Check the condition & tension or dust the belt with talcum powder, this is a mild abrasive & should take any shine off the pulley & give the belt more bite.
