    Hello,

    My 95SL2, Auto, AC, started to make a funny noise yesterday, not loud, but a
    slight whirring (or a police siren from a distance) when at low speeds,
    couldn't hear anything at mid to high speeds. Today, didn't hear anything,
    could it be the alternator, or water pump? Would the dearer hear what I
    hear, or do all Saturns sound the same to them? Thanks for any input.

    Could be AC, as mine also whines. That could also explain why it was heard
    earlier but not now(AC was on then, but isn't now). Check if there's any
    correlation of the noise to whether the AC is on or off.........

    Try putting the tip of a screw driver on the alternator and put your ear to
    the handle side. You should be able to tell if the Alternator is making the
    noise.

    How about an Idler pulley starting to go. I know... been there, heard it,
    done that!
