don't worry, some of your belt you've changed is sliding, not tensioned enough! That noise is caused by smuggling how some belt is sliding on it's roller or tensioner! Check 'em and give feedback!
Sorry for my poor english, I'm not from UK. Fapad

Hi Paul,
I have just registered on here, and noticed your 'Whistle' message, I only drive my wifes Omega when I need to, but have a BMW 735i myself, ( I can hear all the groans already),
but had the same problem, which also baffled the techies at our local dealer, I had done same as some have been suggesting, pullies etc, even changing water pump, alternator but still same, then in desperation got the wd40 out and started spraying anything I could see, gaskets etc in case of a leak, now I am assuming yours is fuel injected with plugs etc, like both our cars, I sprayed the bottom of the injectors whilst the car was running, and the whisle stopped ;D, all nice and quiet ;D ;D, appears to be a defective seal, so used some spray grease round base of injector whilst still insitu till i'm able to take them out and replace seals, car has been to Ireland and back, plus running around locally, still quiet.
Hope this helps, Good Luck

Have you checked the seal between the breather box on the plenum and the plenum?? Its got a little horse shoe shape bit of rubber coming out from it...can cause a whistling noise if its gone...replacement is only a few pence from Vauxhall if its that :y
-
hi sprayed wd40 and spray grease on injectors but still there ,checked pipes and no splits that i can feel or see
i will just have to keep trying
now it seems to be coming from right hand side of the engine ,1 day it seems louder on left next on right

Hi,
check bearings! One of them can be dry or aged!
-
hi bearings on which parts , the noise is even louder now under load
paul

Dry or aged bearing becomes hot sooner than it's environment so if I were you I would try to find a place anywhere on (cold!) engine surface what is warmer than things around that! The whistling may come from crankshaft, alternator, waterpump, camshaft or any turning part is accelerating when you accelerate...At this time we use a screwdriver trick as we call that, putting screwdriver between your ear and the surface you want to scan. Or if you have you can use stethoscope as well but our experience is that stethoscope over sensitive to screwdriver...
