Default Whistle sound

Hi guys...

Recently car start making some whistle sound. I took out the PCV valve and verified it for a constant flow of air in one direction and it turned out to be fine. Always had the oil changed at 3000 miles and before the due time. Hope there is nothign wrong with the engine. (No smoke )

The alternator was changed recently but I'm familiar with the new sound produced by the alternator and it doesnt sound like that.

Any ideas what else could be ?

maybe a vacuum leak? like gasket between the throttle body and intake may be whistling noise on mine because it was cracked.

Does your car still have the stock intake tube? A vacuum leak will rob some power.
