Slight chirping/whistle when ingear/accelerating

Hi guys

Hope someone can help. My 1.5 tsi v1 (2500miles) makes a weird rattle/chirping/whistle sound from the left side when changing gear or accelerating. You can only hear it when the left-sided window is open but it sounds horrible. Only happens when it's in gear and sometimes makes the same noise but worse when changing gears. The car is only 2 months old with around 2.5k miles.

I'll try to add a video of the sound later on but it's like someone is gently blowing on a whistle.
