Faint, high-pitched whistling sound
Anyone else having this issue?

You nailed everything I thought of at first.
Vacuum leak someplace?

If there is one, it would affect my MPG somewhat, and I'm still in the 23-26 range. Exhaust still sounds normal.

Have had that sort of sound you described from collapsed vacuum lines or very small holes that didn't impact the actual system before in other cars. They are an absolute bitch to track down!

This hose is still attached properly, as far as I can see.

I'm assuming that this occurs while driving?

Chance that is a wind noise through the grill or from around a headlight or turn signal?

So you're only hearing it at a specific RPM range in each gear and not once you reach a certain speed?

Nope, across all range regardless of speed, but the car has to be moving, which is so weird. It gets subtly louder with increasing RPM.

get up to speed and throw the car in neutral? Just to make sure its not a wind noise from airflow
determines if its from the engine, or car |

That would tend to eliminate the throw-out bearing (if it's a manual trans.) Since you only hear it while moving my next thought would be a dust shield rubbing on a brake rotor.
