2022 XLT with 2.7L ecoboost 40k miles.

There is a whistling sound coming from the drivers side engine bay (see video). This noise is only noticible when engine is warm (temp gauge at halfway)

Took to dealership. Dealer said engine sounds normal - I dont think they actually warmed up the engine to be able to hear it.

Any thought? Guys with 2.7L anyone else hear this whistling??

I have the same year same engine and have not heard it
Can you hear it while driving?
I’ve really never heard my turbos for that matter but I don’t push it to floor much
I’ve only got 13K though

Have 2.7 ecoboost with stock intake / exhaust and I can hear a subtle turbo whine at idle. Recently when pulling into my driveway, my significant other was standing outside and said it sounded like a jet airliner taxiing. :)

I also have a 2022 XLT with the 2.7 EB and I've never heard that on mine. Is this a new sound or has yours always done this? If new, I'd say something not normal is going on. Are there any other symptoms?
