If the whistling sound in your car is most noticeable when you accelerate, the likely culprit is a vacuum leak. The system that controls the air flow between the mass air flow sensor and the engine pushes air through a hose. If the hose comes loose or is damaged it results in a whistling sound as air escapes.

Why is my car making a whistling noise when I press the gas?
If you hear a whistling sound while driving, there are a few different places you can check out to find a probable cause. The most common reason for this noise being made is a vacuum leak, due to worn or cracked hoses.
Why does my car have a high-pitched noise when I accelerate?
If you hear a high-pitched squeal from a car when moving, it is most probably caused by a loose belt in the engine bay. ... If the belt gets loose, it can result in the car squealing when accelerating. Since the belt is not under the proper tension, it slips on the pulleys and creates a sharp, high-pitched noise.
Why does my car engine make a whistling sound?
Did you know that an overheating engine will often let out something of a sad whistling noise? This is because the engine coolant has reached its boiling temperature, and that whistle is from the excess pressure escaping. It's kind of like a kettle letting you know it's time for tea.
What does a bad transmission sound like?
Clunking, humming or whining sounds are signs of automatic transmission problems. Faulty manual transmissions will also give off loud machinelike sounds that seem to come out of nowhere. A clunking noise when you shift gears is a telltale transmission situation. Have a mechanic look it over.
Why does my air intake whistle?
This high-pitched sound is typically the sign of low return airflow. In other words, your system's blower is “starved for air.” It's trying to pull in a certain amount of air, but is struggling to do so. As this happens pressure and velocity increases, therefore increasing the sound level (that's the sound you hear).
What sound does a cold air intake make?
Quick answer – Yes. The sound of your car will be louder and more aggressive with a cold air intake. Instead of loudness though, a cold air intake changes the sound of your car engine. You will clearly hear the sound of air flowing into the intake – especially when you rev up the car and then release the throttle.
Why is my cold air intake whining?
Go to your air intake, which is the vent with the air filter right up front where you can see it. Put your ear up to it. ... If the whistling sound is coming from a blower vent (the vents where cool air comes out, rather than in), you may have a problem with a larger obstruction in your air duct.
What kind of noise does a bad torque converter make?
Whining or rattling noise:
Likewise, when a vehicle torque converter fails, the car will give a bad torque converter noise–a whining or whining sounds like a power steering pump with little or no fluid in it.
Why is my whistle so high pitched?
As is standard for such systems, the frequency is proportional to the square root of the ratio of stiffness to mass. The smaller the volume of the cavity, the stiffer it is considered as an air spring. So if all you have is a small neck on a small cavity, you get a high frequency.
What is a filter whistle?
The Furnace Filter Whistle alerts you when it is time to replace the filter in the central air conditioner or furnace. The whistle is comprised of two plastic pieces that are snapped onto the filter. A clean filter allows air to move more freely through the filter material.
How do I stop my vents from whistling?
In many instances, the whistling noise is produced by vents that aren't properly attached or the incorrect size. In the winter months, the whistling noise may be reduced by slowing down the system's fan speed. This will slow the speed of air moving through the system and may help eliminate the issue.
