There is no "alarm" in the engine. Judging from your description.... I can only suggest that perhaps you are hearing the starter-moter spinning without engaging its gears. It would sound kinda like a 'whine' as the motor spins faster and faster with no load on it.

Thanks Sir_Shiftright. I would not call it a "guess"...more like a "deduction" based on the limited facts put forth. Part of my livelihood is 'figuring things out' (perhaps better described as a professional troubleshooter) Compared to the complex, worldwide software-systems I work on, an automobile is a very simple machine to me. Except, with softwre, I miss the hands-on of holding a piston in my hand to diagnose why it failed.

sounds like a leak in the turbo intake tubing somewhere.
