English term or phrase: Whine
The article is about Electronic Warfare which goes through the history of international wars, investigating the very first times electronic devices were used, explaining why they were used and how they were developed since then.

below is where the term is used:

During the Vietnam War, first generation light amplification devices (called starlight scopes) were used. These could provide a few hundred yards visibility, but emitted an audible “whine” and would “bloom” blanking the entire image when a bright light source was present.

Thanks in advance for your help.

صدای تیز
Explanation:
It refers to a night vision device mounted on a weapon like sniper rifles or the like. The device amplifies the light in places where there is little light and it's difficult to see. These devices help troops to have a better vision in dark places, but as it is pointed out because these were the first generation of such devices they had some pitfalls, like producing high-pitched sounds and giving too much light where there was bright light source, resulting in a somehow temporary blanking of eyesight.
The terms whine and bloom here refer to two of the weak points of the device.
the first one referring to the sound and the second one seemingly to the sudden increase in light.

According to free dic another meaning of whine is:
a continuous high-pitched sound
So I suppose the whine meaning in this context is
صدای بلند یکنواختی
