I believe its the supercharger, and its probably more distinct than in other planes because it operated on the side of the engine, so the intake is very short and does not shield so much of the high-pitch noise its making, as in most fighters which typically mounted the supercharger deeper in the structure, behind the engine.
Though come to think of it, IIRC the Mustang has similar 'whine' on flybies..
