found this.....might be your problem

Engine/Transmission Whine/buzz at 2800-3200 RPM (Replace Heater Inlet Hose) #99-01-38-003

with 2.2L Engine (VIN 4 - RPO LN2)

Condition
Some customers may comment on a whine/buzz from the engine/transmission at 2800-3200 RPM.

Cause
The production released heater inlet hose has an internal coolant flow restrictor. The flow of the coolant through the restrictor may induce a whine. In some cases the flow restrictor may migrate and come in contact with the heater core inlet tube. If the restrictor comes in contact with the heater core inlet pipe the whine/buzz may become audible within the passenger compartment of the vehicle.

Correction
Replace the heater inlet hose (P/N 22615693). Use the procedure found in the HVAC section of the Service Manual. The new part has a stainless steel clamp over the hose under the insulator where the flow restrictor is positioned. If the clamp is missing on the hose, do not use. All parts currently in GMSPO stock are of the new style.
