Where does the whirring noise come from

Anyone identified the bit(s) that are responsible for the whimpy whirring whistling noise these all make? In self defense I have drilled a couple of holes in the baffles to make it sound a little more... manly, but that intrusive whirring noise really detracts from the experience. I've had my stethoscope on it but cant get to the source. I've never heard any other engine make this kind of sound, so, any clues?

Is it like a chuffa chuffa chuffa noise??? As long as its not takka takka takka then it should be fine

I think the whirring noise comes from something going round.

Can't say I have ever noticed a whirring noise in 11 years of ownership. Diagnosis of a sound without the sound is, impossible.

Don't worry, you are not mad. I know exactly the noise you mean. It's just the engine internals doing their thing. Don't worry about it. It's like the thing where they smell funny in the rain. Just something it does.
