I was gonna say maybe a small vacuum leak. I could be wrong, but idk. Go just trace out all your vacuum lines with some soapy water and rub on your lines. If you see any bubbles forming, you found your leak.

Does the car idle fine?

Whistling sound is air moving rapidly inside your intake as you accelerate, throttle body opens the butterfly and more air comes in rapidly. It is normal. Soap bubbles will not find a vacuum leak...
