Whistlin' wastegate?

Okay here's what happens: If I give the car throttle and move the boost from -20 to -10 and then let off, I can hear a whistle that sounds like when wind passes by a window with a small crack. If I use steady throttle at -10 it whistles constantly. Sometimes I can notice it at other times when I let the throttle off, but I it's only consistant with the scenerios I just outlined.

Can someone suggest what is going on?

Thanks.

Sheez, is that enough acronyms for you?
