Default turbo noises?

maybe a dumb question, but what should the turbo sound like? i know a lot of turbos are like a high pitched whistling, but mine sounds more like air moving very fast. do i possibly need new hoses for the turbo? or should it sound like that? i have gotten a couple of TCV codes even though i replaced it with the IPDTCV

It is hard to describe. It is kind of like a whining noise.

Also connect an aftermarket boost guage and see what the boost levels are.

Nope not really you need to run a small hose from inside to outside under the hood.
