does it "wizz" when stationary,

If not it could be as simple as a window not up all the way!

If it is comming from the engine bay, then get a short length of tube to "listen" individually to the ancillaries of the engine. A bit like a doctors stethascope.

Alternator belt tensioner perhaps? mine did that for a year or so then broke proper, sounded like a wheezing turbo for a while too.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!
