To my knowledge it is normal for a slight whine from the engine under full power....  Sure it isn't the air intake you're hearing?

Yeah, the intake whines/whistles a bit and the belts do too.  Are you sure it's not transmission?

If it's still the same in a month then stop worrying, turn the radio up.
