I answered a similar question, sounds like the same problem I had. The noise is coming from a spring/hole at the top of the canister, near that canister handle.

I found that the hose was plugged. I unplugged the hose from the canister and that end of the hose was plugged. The spring/hole must be a safety that if the vacuum hose is plugged and it's not getting any air and overworking, the spring compresses and allows some air in through that hole to prevent the vacuum from overheating/overworking itself and so the user notices that whistling noise alerts them that there is a problem.

Cheers
