Pretty sure that there is a screeching assosciated with the turbo bearings on the KO4's! Get it checked.

My K04's have been making the same noise for the last 10,000 miles or so. Seems to be much more noticeable in the warm weather.

Unfortunately I don't think there is an easy way of inspecting the turbos properly with the engine in-situ.
