Whats that whistle sound?

Last nite I was driving my car hard. And I noticed a wistle sound coming from the engine when I accelerated. Its not my intake its more of a distinct wistle kinda like a supercharger just not as loud, but loud enough to hear it. The sound is kinda like the sound cars make when they go in reverse fast idk if you guys know what I mean idk what to describe the sound too. Any ideas what this can be? Also the wistle is gone after I shut it off when I got to my destination and when I drove home it wasn't there but I wasn't driving the car hard. Any ideas?
