Default Two prolems :( Whistling noise, turning noise

When I put the peddle to the metal I hear a faint whistling noise, anyone know what this could be?

Also when I'm at a dead stop and I accelerate while turning left/right I can hear a rattle for a second then it goes away as the rpm gets a little higher. I never noticed this until a couple days ago when it was nice out I had my windows down and the music off and I could hear it. It's only at low RPM's and while turning (it's not tire rubbing). It's just a small rattle noise.

Anyone know what these could be??

I've only got 1,000 miles left on my warranty and I've gotta get these things fixed! I've got a few other things that still need addressing too.............
-Drivers side and passenger side door there is a constant rattle in the door hinge. I already had the dealer fix this once and they came back way worse then before
-Using a lot of antifreeze


Help

Do you have a CAI? If so that would be the air being sucked into through the throttle body.

Could be exhaust or a 100 other things. Rattles can be tough to pinpoint.

Using antifreeze and not leaking anywhere? If true that would be bad. The only other place for it to be going is in the engine, either the crank case (the oil will look like coffee with a lot of milk in it and you should see this in the radiator as well), or into the combustion chamber (lot of water vapor in the exhaust, white in color and should smell a little sweet from the antifreeze). Either would mean a head gasket problem or worse. I don't want to worry you because it is probably just a leak you haven't found yet and this is only a very worse case scenario. Antifreeze in the combustion chamber will cause pinging however, which does sound like a rattle so get it checked out. I would add that if you are using a lot and it was leaking into the engine you would be pinging a whole lot or the oil in the crankcase is going to be totally mudded up.

It must be a leak because I dont seem to have any of the other symptoms. That is covered under warranty right?

And no my engine is stock, no CAI or anything...... I thought it might be a bad belt or something... it doesn't sound good though..... to me it almost sounds like my old bonneville's supercharger whine.
The Rattle doesn't sound like its from the exhaust, but I'll try and pinpoint it better with someone else driving and me outside

Should be covered I would think. For the whistle try listening under the hood while a freind brings up the rpm's.
