For those of us fortunate enough to have a turbo, its not real common for them to whistle.

A bad turbo sounds more like a drill than a whistle, and a whistle sound could be many things.

In ateurv8's case, its probably his whistle tips.

Could it be electrical noise coming through your car speakers?

This noise is common if you have a bad ground somewhere, and would increase as engine speed increases.

Does it change with engine speed? Do you hear it at idle, or only when moving?
