Whining Noise With Ignition On Before Starting.

I have a 97 Seville.  With the ignition switch on before starting a loud whining sound starts, and continues after car is started.  Could this be a fan related to air controls?  I have air in off position and it still does this.  It sounds like it's coming from under the dash.
