I've tried using an obdii to check if there's any fault problems that could lead to this sound but it's not showing any. the whine sound is constant even while driving. I think i've noticed that when the I have the top down the sound goes away but im still not sure about that.

any help is appreciated.

My car made strange sound............

Is it an auto box, could it be some warning say not in park?

Why don't you put the top up again and confirm.

Did you try listening from the engine bay? It's the type of noise that the throttle body makes when trying to do it's adaptation. You can unplug the throttle body to confirm.
Also put your ear to the door speaker to hear if it's coming from the audio system.
