I'm hearing this weird whistling from inside my house?

So about half an hour ago I started hearing this weird whistling sound. It keeps coming and going, and its not like pipes or anything. It sounds like someone is calling a dog. I already checked all the TVs in the house and with everyone else, no one knows what it is. Its super quiet too, you can only hear it when its silent. I can't tell where its coming from though, and its driving me nuts. If you go in the kitchen it just sounds like its coming out of the air. As I stated before, I already checked all the equipment in the house and even went up to the attic to take a look, I can't find anything.

Does.anyone else have an idea? I'm completely open

    Do you only hear it in your house? A whistling sound is not a happy ghost; it's a very unhappy furnace or air conditioning filter. When the filter is dirty and inhibiting airflow, the system still has to get air, so it sucks what it can from around the filter. That creates a whistling sound that seems to be most noticeable when the house is quiet -- at night, when you are lying in bed wondering what that sound is. A quick filter change will help you get a good night's sleep. Also check the windows. The slightest breeze can create a draft around older windows, and that can create those whistling sounds, too. Make sure your windows are sealed tightly to avoid the ghostly noise.

    Check your fridge.

    Even better - turn off your electricity supply at the main switch when you hear it.

    Use your phone as a voice recorder and go from room to room saying what room you are in at the time. If you identify what room it is in, then go around the room saying what area you are in. Then listen carefully on the playback to find where it is coming from.
