Default engine whining noise, plz help

i have a 93 sc400 193000 miles, when ever i drive my car i hear air leaking sounds or something like that, and while gassing my car on high rpm's i hear a sound as if my car was super charged even though i know for a fact my car is no where near supercharged.
so what might be the problem?

Through the radio? Electrical interference. Maybe from an after market stereo.

Under the hood? Might be a pulley on it's way out.

Hole in the exhaust? That could make that kind of sound too.

The thing is, no one can read your mind.

If you want a thorough answer, you gotta provide thorough information.
