Check if all spark plugs are tight (to torque spec).
If one comes a bit loose, the pressure leaks out just a bit and makes thsi kind of noise that changes by rpm - ususlly shows up only as the engine is hot / normal operating temperature.

I had same in mys Boxster few years ago and torqued all plugs - one was just a bit loose -> chirp noice went away.
If you check the plugs, make sure to re-connect the coil wires real well to the point that you can feel the slight 'click' as the wire connector is all the way home (otherwise there will be misfires).
