Strange whistle

Hey everyone,

I noticed a few days ago a very light whistle that is usually heard during idle. When I rev it or drive it the noise seems to disappear. I'm thinking I have a boost leak somewhere, but I am not too sure yet. I checked all the hoses and nothing seems to be loose or cracked? Perhaps someone else has had a similar problem.

Video of whistle:

thanks for your help everyone!

Do you have any upgraded or stiffer motor mounts?

I do have a Blox front engine mount, but I have never noticed this noise before...

Maybe be a pulley. I would put gloves on and push down on the valve cover hard to try and take some vibration out. Also try pushing the the motor toward the firewall and pulling it towards the bumper. That way if it stops you know something of just loose.

Mine squeak was in my front bumper when I pulled on the bumper it stopped.
