I’m trying to find out exactly what this part is? Or what it’s the cover of. It’s what is circled in the picture kind of looks like a canister type thing? [Screenshot_20211019-114156_eBay]

Yep, a cover, no cannister. There could be part of the variable valve timing mechanism behind it.

Any reason it would be making a whining noise upon acceleration?

When was the last time the oil/filter were changed? And, are you using the correct viscosity oil? Tester

also it could be the waterpump right next to it making the noise. or belt pulley or tensioner. sound travels.

oil was changed a couple days ago at 95,000 miles. Calls for 5 w20 so that’s what I’ve used.

if the noise stops it will narrow it down to the belt tensioner, the belt idler pulley or the water pump and alternator that are driven by the belt.
