Whining

Just took my car out of storage. It was about 50 degrees (F). When I started it, from the back of the car it sounded kind of like a water softener - a cyclical extra rrr. As I backed it out and drove it home about 7 miles, it was a noise at engine speed - like a car with an automatic transmission that makes noise or the extra load of power steering that causes a whine.

The coolant and oil were both full and the engine temp on the way home stayed at just over 180 per the stock gauge.

Any ideas for me?

It is at 125,000 miles. I do not know much history as the last owner was not a car guy. Thanks everyone!
