I still don't know what the whistling is but I can only hear it when accelerating and driving past something that will reflect sounds such as passing another car or dense foliage on the road sides. The whistling seems to sound like something right out of a science fiction movie. Very hard to describe.

Also, I notice a strange noise right after startup from the engine bay. It'* almost as if the engine is noisy (not banging or knocking) and it goes away 30 sec to 1 min after the car is started. Possibly EGR or ????
Did you change the PCV and ensure the o ring is there? That'* usually the cause of a whistling..or possibly a leaking vacuum hose.

Bill - I need to do that. I totally forgot you posted that above. I'll check it out and report. I do believe that results need to be posted in threads so people can search to find answers instead of reposting
