Does the whining disappear if you crack the oil filler cap loose or maybe pull the dipstick out? If so then it’s likely something PCV related, as you already seem to suspect.

The hose that runs straight up from the breather box to the top of the engine is known to split open, just above the box, with old age. That could create a whistling sound during moments of high manifold vacuum.
