Default Whistle - Ecoboost
Just tried to search this several times without any luck.

Hearing a pretty significant whistle when the turbos kick in - begin to spool. Sounds like it is coming from the speaker.

Anyone else notice this? I love my truck. Just want to drive all day, but this small issue is driving me nuts....

I heard a definite turbo whistle/whine when test driving a 2015. It may accentuated by the enhancement program, but I doubt it. I think the truck is just quiet enough now that you hear the turbos more than previously.

Check the couplings on the hot and cold side piping. Also check that there are no cracks in the IC. A significant whistle may mean there is a boost leak somewhere.

I wish Ford would install simulated blower whistle in the 5.0...

Sometimes seems more prominent than others. Going to check these items

Would guess not. Only happens when the turbos are spooling....

You have your truck already Bobber? Was it delivered 1/20 or did you order then?
