ITG maxogen whistle
bacillus:
I suspect that normal for your intake. The stock intake hides a myriad of strange noises.

Go to 1min in as as im pulling through the gears you can hear it just before and after the gear change.

....Ah! Now I hear it! I was listening for a whistle which was in sync with the revs etc. It's not in sync and sounds more like an extended squeak than what I call a whistle. Sounds like air from a rubber balloon under high pressure, which I can understand folks thinking it's a leak.
Could it be the DV?

bingo... yeah a squeak or as i thought ... a 'harmonica' style noise.
Hmm not sure... R-Tech did put a 'used' C type DV on the car because my D type was faulty... Im getting a G (or whatever this new one turns out to be if its better) and fitting it soon.
Because the sound started when I fitted the intake I just presumed it was the intake.

Should bloody hope it's not the DV, i replaced mine with a G a few weeks ago, the day before i had my Twintake installed, so surely not that!? I have that whistle, but i actually quite like it, it's like it's warning me that when i put my foot down all hell breaks loose!! :evilgrin:

Not wanting to alarm anyone with my DV suggestion - It's only a total guess as a possibility. If you had a DV leak I would expect a power 'leak' and especially a loss under hard throttle.
The sound might even be on my car too. As bacillus points out, there is a myriad of noises and my squeeeeek might be lost amongst the glorious Grrrrrrrr! from my engine mounts, usual Twintake sounds, Milltek exhaust, and occasional whine (which I enjoy) from the gears/Quaife.
