CarComplaints.com Notes: 2008 is the first year of the 2nd generation Highlander, & it may be a model year to avoid as Toyota most likely worked out some production quality issues with the new model.
The 2009 Highlander is the has far fewer complaints.

Hello Toyota.
Drive train whine cannot be normal.
Must be a MFG problem.
Toyota needs to figure out the problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NEVER had a whine in any Toyota/Lexus product I have owned.
