my rx keeps making this whistling noise from the engine bay could it be my belt or lifters?

can someone tell me how i get rid of it?

A whistling noise? dunno about that, The belts on my rx make a few clicking noises upon start up but once they have warmed up a bit it runs as per normal

Haha, indeed - You can hear it wicked when you put a full 3" on.

Seriously though, to the OP .. When you increase RPM speed, does the pitch change, or is it constant?

if u have a BOV on a TMIC make sure the bolts are tight. when i had a leak i was wondering what that sound was. maybe not but still check it.
