is it like an actual whistle sound or like an electronic whistle sound coming from your engine bay? i get this kind of rally-car whistle when its super cold and my car just starts. its pretty fun to listen to..kinda reminds me of a supercharger 'wheen'

you could just be hearing the intake sucking. My friends SRI on his MX-6 makes a whistle when you have the hood open. How bad is the light rain? For some people a light rain might be a medium rain for someone else (IE a person from seattle telling me he's in light rain would be a freaking monsoon to me, i'm sure) If water levels get fairly bad, the CAI might be picking some water up, but you would feel it in the engine as a hesitation to accelerate. I personally wouldn't be too worried about the whistle, unless it progresses and becomes louder, etc.
