a whistle or rotational whistle. cause if it's rotational sound when you accelerate then it might be the wheel bearing or the axle is broken.

My alternator made a turbine-like whistling sound in the weeks leading up to its eventual failure.

OR, my whistling sound was from my system, it is a wire that went to my subs that isnt wired, and everytime i touch the gas pedal it whistles, and the more i accelerate the louder the whistle....do u have a system?

My intake makes that sound too. Don't know what it is, and don't really care. It's not hurting anything.

Makes the honda boys turn there heads and wonder what the whining sound is under the hood......

Ahhh, the Bubb Rubb video....that one was great when I first seen it.

Anyway, when I had my midpipe on my car it had a whistle to it at partial throttle. Went away at full or no throttle. Anyway, since I took the midpipe off the sound has been gone.
