I also have this whistling sound like the turbo is spooling up in Gear 2, 3 and a tiny bit on 4.

Yes, first buzz sounds the same so I guess it is the wastegate or exhaust flap actuator but actuator sounds more like it as it's clearly coming from underneath the car and not the hood. You have a second buzz 12 seconds into the video while the car is moving, does yours buzz on the move as well?

Turbo whine is normal, this is my third forced induction car and they all have it.
