AC whistle?

Ever since I picked up car from Service B(which did include cabin filter change) the AC has "whistled" at moderate to high fan speed. It is not the fans itself but sounds more like the air flow path or something. Anyone else ever experience this? Maybe the cabin filter is torn or installed incorrectly causing the air to "whistle" at high flows?????

One cabin filter located passenger side to inspect simple remove cover underneath. If you have not already done so, check to se if all vents are properly open.

Thanks. All vents r open but that is exactly what it sounds like. Like a vent is partially closed.

I had something similar on my old Benz. I took it back to the dealer and they fixed it quickly - some filter was not completely seated if I recall correctly.
