After the car gets slightly warmed up, it begins to have this weird whistle sound. It roughly sounds like its coming from the bottom passenger side, somewhat near the intercooler-ish area?

Replacing the valve cover fixed the issue! Core problem was the PCV system was clogged which is a really common problem on the N55!

Found the problem to be an issue with the harness side that is on the driver fender well. After repairing that, the light finally went away. 🎉
