Having a whistle noise from the motor

Check the PCV valve for a missing O-ring. They are often missing when you buy a replacement.
Air could be rushing past the PCV causing the whistle.
Try taking the PCV valve out and test run without it to see if the noise goes away.

When I bought the car it didn't have one in it and it still done it

Just saw this thread this afternoon. A shop thinks it's the harmonic balancer.
There's a rubber bushing between the two piece pulley. Possibly slipping?

Any chance you can make a video with audio and upload it on YouTube, then copy the link and paste it in a post here?
Does it sound like this?
Commentary on this video doesn't say what the cause was (hate that), but one guy said he had the same noise caused by a vacuum leak from the upper intake manifold gasket near the MAP sensor. I would also check where the throttle body connects to the UIM. You could try a rudimentary smoke test by moving a smokey cigar around those gaskets to see if smoke pulls in.
Another possibility is a dirty IAC valve with a stuck pintle, but that usually effects the idle. Might be worth checking out though.
If you have access to a scan tool capable of reading fuel trim values check them. Ideal readings are 0% Short term and 0% Long term. Anything more than about + or - 10% would be a strong indicator of a vacuum leak.
