There is a whistling noise that I can't pinpoint on my car. It happened a lot during the winter but it seemed to go away after a car wash. It hasn't done it in a while but it's back, only while the engine is running. It can be heard inside and outside the car and does not change with speed or RPMs. I have taken the access cover for the fuel pump off and it is not coming from there. It's starting to drive me crazy. I know I'm not crazy since Matt and his brother heard it too. Thoughts?

Can you localize it even slightly?

I checked around a bit more and it's on the left hand side and a bit louder underneath. I even tried to duplicate the conditions of the touchless carwash and sprayed the underside of the car and nothing changed. I did drive it a bit after work when I went to get dinner and it is intermittent now.

Possibly an evap vacuum leak?

I was thinking that but now the noise has stopped, I'm sure it will be back and I'll poke around when it does and also get a video of it as well.

Does it happen only upon cold startup and last for about a minute or two?

If so, I'm leaning towards the electric motor for Seconday A.I.R. It's over in the left front corner.

When it happens it does it no matter what while the engine is running. Cold starts, warm starts, and even during long drives. I almost thought it was the speakers and then I disconnected all of them and no change.

I just came across a description of a similar whistling on a Monte, apparently there was a missing o-ring on the PCV.

I figured it out. This sounds really dumb but it was coming from the fuel lines near the filter. If they touched a certain way they made the noise. I pushed them away from each other and it stopped.
