Last night, I was just having some fun and did a burnout with traction off and the sounds was very, very noticeable and so I want to get it checked. That said, I am going to book it in with the garage but thought I would post on here to see what you guys think. Audio is as follows...

I had an odd whistling at the track a couple months ago at WOT. never figured it out. But it went away last time I went out.

Are you running a tune?
Unfortunately this is still an issue if anyone has any ideas. To add to the above, the sound can most easily be heard when turning off DSC and going WOT. Additionally, the sound is noticeably louder with BM3 vs running stock.
I heard someone mention a whistling can be due to a wastegate being stuck open. Maybe something to check as well.
