crank seals - cam seals - whistle under vacuum , sometimes

on VW and BMW
it is not uncommon to have a crankcase vent valve fail
one of the failure patterns vents intake vacuum to crankcase
when that happens
the seals sometimes , but not always
whistle

the seals are usually not damaged and hold the oil where it belongs after the repair
