Unhappy Whistling when I press accelerator

I decided to take my rx8 out in the slush which it didn't seem to appreciate. I've been doing all the things I think are supposed to be right after reading up on the car (letting it warm up before driving, making sure it is completely warm before shutting off, revving up the rpms when I can) but today when I left target in the slush it started making this whistling type of noise when I hit the accelerator. What's wrong with my baby? Lol.

Do you have an After Market Intake, eg AEM?? if so it could be that it sucked in the water through intake filter.

Sounds like interference through the stereo from the alternator

If it is coming through the speakers you could have a bad ground conection in you engine bay.

I have no idea. I honestly don't know the first thing about cars and didn't realize what I was getting myself into with an rx-8. I just got it from the dealer last week.

Thanks for the responses. I'm going to see if it persists once this sleet is off the roads and if it does I'll get it checked out.
