				Problem or Not?

				I have noticed that on my newly acquired 3.0d, the turbo whistles whilst getting up to steady road speed from a cold start - can't be heard unless the window is open, isn't loud and intrusive and is actually quite pleasant-sounding !?
What do members think please

				My 2005 E53 does it too and always has.  Sounds like normal to me.
I can't hear either of the turbos on the X6 even with the window open which I take it means the sound proofing is good, the whistle is out of my hearing range, or I'm a deaf old git (the wife's choice).  They're definitely working coz the car goes like a 2tonne missile.

				Hi 
Sounds normal to me.  I could always hear mine quietly and it became more audible after it was remapped.  Suppose you could call it comforting

				Thanks all - that's very reassuring
