Default Turbo whistle

I am hearing that turbo whistle a lot lately, especially in second gear. This is not a bad sign , is it? Thanks.

Did you just chip your car? Pretty noticeable when the car isn't warmed up. (Good sign...=BOOST)

No, just got done putting the first 1000 miles on it. It is more noticable when the car isn't warmed up. Thanks.

This is my first turbo car. I'm coming from a
v-6 mustang, so I've never driven anything like this before. But, the whistling starts at about 2k, then quiets down as the rpms increase.

Just make sure not to drive too hard until the water and oil temp come up.
