Yeah. Something that is moving is whining.

It might pay to mention when it whines, specifically, and under what conditions, if any, the whine changes, if it does at all.
Such as "it gets worse when I have the headlights on" or "it goes away when engine speed is higher than idle" or "it gets really loud when I turn the steering wheel in the driveway" or "it gets higher pitch when the engine speed increases".

Have you tried opening the bonnet and looking for things that look out of place! Are all the fluid levels OK! The belts intact! Is the noise coming from the engine bay or from the wheels! Is the noise present when driving or when stationary! Maybe post a you tube video link!

BTW increase in loudness is technically an increase in amplitude, not pitch.

drew-would that start with a clicking noise!

Yeah it will start with making a rattle/clicking sort of noise and get progressively worse.
Does the car have enough of the right grade oil in it! Are the drive belts tight (power steer belt,ac belt, alternator belt)! Does everything seem ok in the engine bay! If yes to all that then yeah i would be looking at timing chain problems.

You seem very keen to not help yourself, hoping someone will just come and tell you exactly without you putting any effort in yourself.
Good luck with that. But I suggest you take it to someone.

At the end of the day the OP isn't going to be able to do anything with the information given here so it seems to be a rather futile exercise.

I had a whining noise in my car earlier today, it went away when I 'slowed down and acted my age'.

Thunder is more of a rumble than a whine.
