Default my car whistles...

Just like the title says, it started to happen long ago, but i never really paid any attention to it, it sounds damn cool but maybe somethings wrong...

As soon as I start to go around 5k rpm it starts to whistle very low, but by the time im at 6k rpm it can be heard perfectly in the front seats (sedan ) and it goes like that all the way to 7200...just wondering, is it a leak somewhere o is it normal?

*edit* Can only be heard if all windows are closed, and music is at a normal level or off, just so you get an idea of the volume more or less

If the butterfly plate opens just right, the air going through whistles.

Well damn. Unless you do have that "woooooo woooooooo", it's probably a leak somewhere.

That wooo wooo is kind of like a joke. They make these whistles called whistle tips and when a newscaster interviewed some guy about them he's like "they go woooo wooooo" It's fawkin hilarious. You have to see the vid. That's what were talking about though.
