Exclamation B5 S4 Turbo Whine? (VIDEO INSIDE)

Hello!

I just bought an auto b5 s4 the other day with 140k, I have many of the service records on the car but not sure if the stock k03 turbos has ever been replaced. The car has a cat back exhaust, forge diverter valves, Evolution Motorsports Intake, and an APR Stage 1 tune.

I am not sure how I missed this turbo whine when I test drove the car but I wanted to see if this is normal or my turbos are shot or will be in the near future. A few things to note; there are no leaks from the turbos at all, in the few days I have owned it the turbos boost up just fine under throttle, there's no smoke coming out of the exhaust even WOT, there is a heavy unburned gas smell that comes from the car for the first minute or so when it is a cold start.

I have been trying to compare this to videos I am seeing online and it's hard to tell what I'm facing. Sorry for the crappy video I am just freaking out now and shot it on my iPhone a little bit ago. Any help would be appreciated thank you!
