XC70 Engine noise
#1

I have a 2008 XC70. As the engine hits 1000 RPM (+/- 100 RPM) I get a low airy whistle. Local dealer techs hear but cannot identify. Said they heard same on two XC70's new on lot. It is a new sound to them. Area Volvo Rep feels it is a "nature of the beast". Any ideas?

I wonder how loud the noise is. If it is whistling, most likely it is from the induction system. Since your XC70 is new, I can only assume someone at the final assembly point forgot to tighten a clamp on an induction hose, or it could also be from serpentine accessory drive belt. Visually inspect the induction hoses to see if there's something loose.
Post this question in the XC70 forum as well.Since I'm not privy to the XC70s. Sorry I couldn't help you better.
