Default Weird "whistle" sound in gear switch

Hey guys,

I wanted to ask here before i go to a garage to chekc this issue, just to make sure if thats something i should worry about or not, and what can cause this issue.

Ive notices in the past few months that when i drive and gear is switched between second and third gear - a subtle "whistle" like gust of air is happening.
this is not happening every gear switch (something switching from second to third gear doesn't have htis whistle)
and i think its happening mostly when i have high rpm.

also - there are no sounds of gear grinds or any metal sound, just air whistle of. some sort.

its really hard to hear on a drive and im having difficulties recording it.

i would really appreciate if anyone have any idea why its hapening and if fixing it will be expansive.

thanks!

Well I cant answer or suggest anything. You can attempt to post a short video of the sound, but I think you have the best idea is take it to a shop.

There are just to many variables that you did not even consider and could cause of influence the noise you are hearing.
