Ok.

If your car is stock, I doubt there is anything wrong with it. Most likely you are hearing the turbo whine, which you are not familar much becuase your previous car was a Civic.

Also, the OEM EGT probe sometimes tends to cause some minor whistle. Depends on the outside temp and stuff.

If you're completely stock, your best bet would be to take it to the dealer and have them inspect it. It's difficult to diagnose a sound through the internet, as there could be a large number of causes.
