Engine whistling after start

The air cleaner assembly in my '83 300SD was shaking a lot ever since I bought it a couple years ago. I finally got around to adjusting it and it doesn't shake anymore. Now I'm getting this whistle that pitches up and down along with the engine RPMs. the whistle lasts for about a minute after the engine starts, disregarding engine temperature, and then stops, not to be heard until next tiem the engine starts. When I was doing this I remember disconnecting the little rubber line that goes to the turbo just below the filter assembly towards the front, but I reattached it and doesn't look like it's leaking or anything. Any ideas?
