I've got a 01 base with auto box.

I've gone a whining noise as well, but I figured that it's not the wheel bearing or cv as I get that whine even when I rev the engine when stationary. It got better when I replace the serpentine belt but it's still there. It's louder when cold and seems to go when the engine gets really warmed up.

It's noticeable at the lower rpms, gets drowned out or goes away at higher revs (can't tell).

I'd always thought that it was normal, since alot of people have described the noise of the pre '03 cars to be as exciting as a washing machine.... It does sound like one sometimes !! (of course, I'm still on stock exhaust, but with a bmc filter and ipd plenum, the intake noise is now more exciting !)
