turbo noise 850 96

I drove a '96 854T today (58K miles), and noticed a slight whistling noise under WOT. I'm familiar with the moaning and whining sounds of dying turbos in the 7/900 series, but this sounded more like a high-pitched air leak. Acceleration was smooth and strong, and the hoses looked OK.

Is this a normal noise for the 850s, or is it the sound of bad things to come? Thanks in advance.
