I have not moved my car in three days and went out to move it today and it will not start I popped the hood and threw on a jumper but that is not the issue there is a high pitch whine with a little grind coming from the box mounted next to the right front strut tower does anyone know what this is?

 

by right front do you mean passenger front (Left Hand Drive)?

 

Sounds like the air pump... they are known to produce a high pitch whine.

 

Were you able to get it started? if so what is the problem. I just came back from vacation for the ironically a 3 day period and now mine won't start.
