as much as the turbo thing was a joke it did actually sound like a turbo spooling up. If i had to choose from your descriptions i'd go for kettle. Sounds like wind noise but definately not as it was not present unless gunning it in sport mode.
And how loud? Do you feel the need to turn off the climate control to hear it better?

I'm thinking it's just the cam wheels and associated belt wering tbh.

No, when I heard it it was quite lound I had sunroof open and seemed to hear noise through roof.
Won't be driving it again until friday when I've put the cam covers back on, so will update then.
There was no impact on performance, and it seems a bit of a coincidence that there was a pipe disconnected.

Well, been out for a drive and the whistling noise has gone, so it must have been that little pipe.
What does it do?

I need to own a pair of ears like yours.

If you can hear the 'whistle' from a small vac pipe over the 'full beans rant' of a V6 then I doff my cap to you Sir!  :y

It wasn't quiet, when I first heard it I had sunroof open too. thought it was wind noise at first, but still there with roof shut and only present when at top of revs.

Only other thing I suppose is that something was else was not properly fitted as all I've done is cam cover gaskets and breather cleaning.
Definately no whistle when I took it out and gave it the beanz.
