Default strange noise during acceleration

My 04 is making a strange noise when I accelerate. Kind-of-like a whine. When I shut-down the AC the noise disappears. Any ideas?

Unbelievable! I brought my GS to the dealer in an attempt to diagnose the strange noise problem. Get a load of this. Both mufflers had debris in them. The previous owner garaged the car but went south for the winter. The debris was from mice. The best part of this is that the dealer is going to warrenttee the mufflers!!! The AC thing is still a question......probably me.
