It can only be heared as I accelerate... The higher the revs the louder it gets.. As soon as the engine idles it stops.. Im gutted as I have only had the car 2 weeks

You say it wasnt there before? Is almost like a wooshing sound? Sounds like air being sucked into the engine? You got a standard CAI?

I have manual which whines very slightly when cold, which you can hear when the window is down.

This is norm though
