Mine do make that whining noise and I started to notice it when my radio was off. Not sure about S vs D but it can be because the rpm is higher that you get that noise more frequently. I don't think it's a bad thing. Seems like the turbo is doing it's thing at low rpm.

With that said my previous 2001 Audi S4 seem to give more of the back pressed to the seat feel when accelerating. My old 2010 WRX was a little less abrupt. The X3 accelerating seem more gradual/linear. May be I need to drive it harder.
It's definitely not the normal turbo whine/hiss that people commonly refer to..you can hear it in my video posted above..
