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. :driving:

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 :-)
