Default Engine whistling under load

My 3.0 litre awd automatic makes a strange whistling noise if I hold it in 3rd gear and keep on accelerating, sounds like a turbo spooling up or a supercharger, I thought it could be a massive air leak at high revs, have no codes, no missing in the engine , she runs like a dream and can redline it until the limiter kicks in.What could be causing this sound?
