If is not a pinhole leak on the exhaust, EBP plumbing, up-pipes or turbo CAC boots, it could be shaft play related, just starting to scrape. The smaller the hole, the higher pitched the sound. Of course, it could be an intake air leak caused by a plugged filter or loose connection. Even the belt or an accessory bearing could be the cause.
