Greetings-
I have a 2014 LTZ 1.4T Automatic with 15k miles on it. Fully stock with remaining life on the 36k bumper-to-bumper warranty. So far, I love the car and the way it drives, however, I have been recently confronted with some noises that are quite annoying and possibly indicitave of something serious.
I have not gone to the dealership yet as I wanted to gather some other opions first.
Noise #1 - Engine Whistling
OK, this one is super annoying. It only whistles at idle and will only start to do so after driving for about 5-10 minutes. It's really loud, the video speaks for itself:

Noise #2 - Sloshing Liquid Sound
Alright, I know this issue has been talked about before multiple times, but there seems to be multiple solutions. It's basically a sound of running/sloshing liquid when you accelerate from a stop and/or rev the engine in neutral. I've heard people have it resolved through computer update, shock replacement, heater core, cooler top-off, etc. Are there really this many scenarios that could cause that same symptom?
Mine sounds like its coming from the passenger side somewhere near the bottom of the car or under the dash. I made a video but its harder to hear:

Noise #3 - Grinding/Buzzing Noise
When I'm accelerating, you can almost always hear this feint noise of what sounds like something grinding together. It comes and goes really quickly. I tried to capture it on video. You can hear it if you listen really hard when I hit about 47-48 mph:

The videos make the sounds seem really subtle, but they are a lot louder when you are actually in the drivers seat.
Any help or input is super appreciated! Perhaps even something I can point to when going into my dealership. I've never had to bring it in, but from what I understand, everything including the labor and loaner cars should be fully paid for if you are under the 36k warranty.
Thanks!
