It likely is. I just haven’t ran the car with no ac blasting on full that it was surprising to hear it. Idk, maybe i just forgot how it soundsAin't that just the turbo?
I'm not a pro, but I heard that "whistle" clearly on my s10+ on max volume( not flexing), I'm not 100% but the 1.5t(L15b7/L15ba) have side piping for exhaust fumes to get by the turbo, when not in boost. Basically it's the stuff that makes all the air recirculate and that's what your hearing, so all that air will be available when your actually using ur turbo, during moderate to full boost( obviously)When revving up the engine, this wistle sounds on the back ground, does it sound normal? I don’t think i’ve noticed it in the past...
I'm not a pro even more than you are lol. With that said, what you're trying to say is that sound/whistle is normal operating sound? wonder why it wasn't evident before? or I just haven't heard it...I'm not a pro, but I heard that "whistle" clearly on my s10+ on max volume( not flexing), I'm not 100% but the 1.5t(L15b7/L15ba) have side piping for exhaust fumes to get by the turbo, when not in boost.

Hence why these sadly come with recirculating pressure valves, instead of that "whoosh" or "StuStuStu" BoV so many people like.
If you put a bov and ANY KIND you will cancel out all that air on standby, and starve the engine of air a few times, making it run moderately rich.
Maybe the turbos sound different after they get a little worn? Idk if this is really a thing thoughI'm not a pro even more than you are lol. With that said, what you're trying to say is that sound/whistle is normal operating sound? wonder why it wasn't evident before? or I just haven't heard it...
What’s weird is that it sounds like nothing on “cold” engine. But once warmed up you can clearly hear. I’m leaning towards mechanical nature of it now, like some bearings arr going out or somethingMaybe the turbos sound different after they get a little worn? Idk if this is really a thing though
Well, you can certainly hear it here and this shit pisses me off. I don’t think it’s turbo since the sound is still on when not in boost.

I think the turbo compressor still spins a little, just not enough to make boost. The wastegate probably stays open when you're in park or neutral. That would explain why you hear a sound even without load.Well, you can certainly hear it here and this shit pisses me off. I don’t think it’s turbo since the sound is still on when not in boost.
