Default Slight whistling when slowing down???

So I just finished replacing my power steering return line last night and it's all working wonderfully again... BUT, on my drive home from my shop I noticed a slight whistle so to say when slowing down. I'm not really sure what it is, and haven't heard it before. The power steering is making the normal noise as all cars do until it's all filled back up.

Has anyone had this happen on their cars? Could it be possibly a turbo or a leak? Any thoughts or ideas where to look?

Everything runs fine, a/f and boost all run the same, temps and pressure are all good also... so im just slightly stumped by what it could be.

Thanks guys!

hahaha, no not that lol... Let my buddy take it out and he thinks something is rubbing when the car is slowing down very slightly... Not worried about it at this point since all is running fine and everything else seems normal.

That's the noise, I took my exhaust off this weekend when I pulled my trans out. I'll let ya know when its all put back in if it goes away. Truly a PIA though but not terrible just a pet peeve so to say.
