W205 C300 Turbo whining?

Hey everyone...

So i recently noticed a noise from my turbo when accelerating.
It almost sounds like a supercharger whine and i cannot seem to figure it out.
I checked for boost leaks with no luck and the car only has 31k miles so it shouldn't have a failing turbo this early...
Any idea?! PLEASE HELP

Hopefully its just a boost leak or as John said maybe the air box isn't completely sealed. Are you using any kinda piggyback? Keep us posted.

Checked air box and everything that I can reach with the current tools I have and had no luck.. I’ll keep it updated. I’ll be taking my car in later this week for a full diagnostic
No tunes or piggybacks being used.
