David,
Get some liquid graphite cable lubricant from your FLAPS (aka Canadian
Tire). Disconnect the speedometer cable at the back of the speedometer. Add
drop by drop to the cable end. Be very careful not to spill any (remember
carbon is a good electrical conductor). Put it all back together. After a
few hundred km, if the whine is still with you, add some more liquid
graphite. Twice should be plenty.
