Whistling sound
 
I am new here and been looking over the search for this problem and found only one topic similar to mine but wanted to see what else might be causing this. I find that everytime I hit the throttle and get to 5800 to 6200 RPM's I get this faint brief whistle sound almost like a blow-off valve it goes away at higher rpm's or when I shift. My car is an 05 and has 33,000 on original motor and is bone stock.

my car whistles from 3.5k to 4.8k sounds like a turbo spooling up. not sure what the deal is.

can you hear it at idle? on my car I have a high pitched whistle like sound coming from my alternator.....don't know if it's normal or not

never really worried about it

i had that too and i had my engine replaced..

how does a sound coming from an alternator have anything to do with having the engine replaced?

I would think it's just an alternator or pulley issue

that's what i was thinking and then a couple months later my car wouldn't start..

Forgot to add when I have the windows rolled up it sounds more like a slight grinding sound, windows rolled down sounds like a whistle.
