Engine whining at rpm 1500, whistle high pitched. only happened when accelerating.

I had my 2014 Accord (purchased from Valley Honda, IL) for 3 days when I noticed a whining noise coming from my 4 cylinder engine when the engine cycle reach 1.5 RPM. I don't know what to do...Damn it is 2014 and it is my first 0 Miles car.

In Oct. 2014, I bought a brand new Honda Accord CVT model but no Honda sales person, manager or commercial indicated that between 10-19 mph, while coasting, a high pitch whining sound is customary with this vehicle and model type.
I took the vehicle to three separate car garages, all specializing in foreign cars, and each told me that the sound emanating from my car was not normal.
Honda sent out an "expert" who claimed she couldn't hear the sound but wanted to me to sign documentation after our ride or as I like to call it a waste of my time and gas.
The problem is still not fixed and I tell everyone I know not to buy a Honda because of the way I was treated by this company. I bought a new vehicle from them and they treated me like I purchased it from an unaffiliated reseller.
At this moment in time, I would not recommend anyone buy a Honda. The quality and service does not match that of the 80's or 90's.
