I started hearing this sound during highway speeds. It sounds like a high pitched, faint whistle. Sound increases a little as I step on the throttle. I hear it with the windows up and sounds like it's coning from the engine bay. I read up on it and people say it maybe tbe pcv, but not sure. Thinking of bringing it for warranty, but I an tuned with E, what should I do first. I suspect it's a leak from the charge pipes. Will try to upload a video soon.

I had something similar but mine happened when it was warmed up. Something about a leaky pipe below in front of the engine. Bring it in !

make sure your charge pipes are tight, not cracked.
