is it cold air intake ? if yes then possibly that.

do you have aftermarket extractors/headers? if they are loose it can cause leakage/whistling also.

It sounds like it could be your sound system, I believe if wires cross etc behind the head unit this can cause a whistling sound.

the whistling sound could be from your intake as mentioned.
here is a quick diagram of what causes mine to whistle
note my arrows are air flow.

I run a Spoon filter on my box, with the lid off and due to the plastic foam material it doesn't muffle the sound like the OEM paper style filter and I get a similar sound with part and full throttle. I've heard this is a trait of some of our plenums/throttle bodies.

If it's only changed sound recently I'd be checking for breaks or tears in the your filter or intake pipe.

Hope this helps?

its just the aftermarket intake, they whistle quite loud in neutral. Thats what happens when you remove the stock box.
