    My bike whistles at low RPM's... like when I idle through town at 30 mph.
    It disapears when I accelerate?

    that sweet sound is normal for these bikes. it's an awesome sound
    different oils change the volume of it, too

    Yep, another normal noise. Almost sounds like a turbo spooling up.

    I've got one guy that I ride with that calls my bike "Whistler". Funny thing is that my hearings shot and I don't hear it most of the time.

    Yes, it does sound a lot like a turbo.
