Answer 1

I would check the belts (timing or serpentine) when the engine is off and see if they need replacing.

Answer 2

Turbos make a whistleing when getting up to speed

Answer 3

it could be a loose hose but more likely a bad bearing in something belt driven like the alternator, water pump, etc. you can try removing one belt at a time and see if the noise goes away

Could either be belts or , possibly the alternator is going to go?
