If it's a manual, then it doesn't surprise me. Some manuals have a reverse gear that whines/whistles. I've noticed it in near every manual car I've driven, new and old. It's normal, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I just got my car and I have the same noise. I searched that thread and didn't see anything about a whistling noise.

Anyone know for sure?

Here's another thread but the answer wasn't given but the may also fall under fbodfather's explanation of fuel economy and emission gadgets.

I also get the noise for 30 seconds after I start the car after it's been sitting.
