Whistle when accelerating

Hi all,

I just bought a Captur 1.2 TCE Dynamique Nav 5dr Automatic Petrol.

I noticed that when I press the accelerator, I can hear a whistle (a high pitched airy noise). It's not too loud, but it's definitely there and is definitely related to acceleration. It also seems that it doesn't matter how fast the car is going.

Has anyone experienced the same? What can it be?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, i bought a captur tce 2016 model from a showroom in UAE.
Same thing, when the car is around 30kph to 40kph just when accelerating, i can hear a whistle, its a siren like but not loud. Its just there then when turbo kicks in and decelerating no noise.
My power is also ok i dont lose any. Pls anyone can answer my query? Is the tce 1.2 engine really makes that whining not too loud noise when turbo is kicking in? Hoping for reply.

Without hearing your car it is difficult to say, but if you notice the noise more when the engine is under load, and it is quiet when you are decelerating or coasting, then it is almost certainly the turbo. Some are noisier than others, also some people notice the noise more than other people
