Whats That Whistle???
Ever since I bought my car since 07, it had this whistle. I thought it was pretty cool cause I would sound like a turbo or supercharger or anything close to it. It scared off the hondas that would line up next to me on the fwy or the street.
um.. some say its some valve on the egr. others say its a turbonator, bur I quite dont seem to know how that works. please let me know. give me your point.

uhhh to be completely ignorant.... air leak somewhere? broken seal, gasket, or clamp not tight?....
it may scare ricers, but that would annoy the hell out of me... hope you figure it out soon

Sounds like a slight vacuum leak. Check all the hoses for deteriation/see if one of them isn't hooked up.
EDIT: The vacuum leak is just a guess . . . .
Check all of your idler pulleys, they tend to crap out on you, but they usually make a bird chirping sort of noise.
Here is a good link on how to grease the idler pulleys . . . .

kinda hard for us to tell from a recording..
you are there.. just get down real close to the engine and move your head all over the place.. try to get someone else to help.. sometimes it can be tricky to find where it is coming from..
chances are its a vacuum leak..
