Turbo Whistle or Tea Kettle Whistle

I've heard a head gasket leak or a turbo leak described as a tea kettle whistle. I've also heard people talk about turbo whistle. Is there distinct difference between the two? I just installed an AFE intake and deleted my CAT. I also had APR head studs put in. This has all been done in the last couple of weeks. Now, I have a constant whistle coming from under my hood. I'm just wondering if it's the turbo I'm hearing. I have a January 04 F350

I have an 03 6.0 so my truck has a pretty good turbo whistle however it has never come from under the hood. The only way I hear it really well is if my windows are rolled down. It could possibly be your coolant bottle cap that is failing, I hear that is fairly common. I wouldn't think that it would be your heads being as you have studs.
