n54 sounds like party whistle under boost

Okay I'm partly posting this just because it sounds funny, but in all honesty, I'm wondering if someone has ever encountered their n54 sounding like a party whistle Got the issue a day before installing metal CP with BOV so I know its not the CP. Going to check the rest of the piping this weekend probably, I expect maybe a hose clamp that gave out or something?

Didn't get a chance to look at it yet. But yeah, I've been monitoring my boost gauge and its only past 10-11 PSI. For now I flashed map 1 back and it barely happens, but it sounds like escaping air somewhere. Sounds like the passenger side too. So for now my best bet is either the hot side FMIC pipes or the PCV valve.

Boost leak, check connections. Stock doesn't make as much boost, thus it doesn't leak as much or make as much noise.

Super high frequency, which could be the rotating turbo shaft assembly or a silicone connector flapping (think pinching and stretching a balloon neck to make a SUPER similar sound). First place id start is making sure all connectors are clamped straight, flush and tight.
