Default Vacuum leak?

Ok I have a problem with what I think is a vacuum leak, I hear a whistle whenever I'm accelerating, it doesn't do it when I'm not moving or all the time only between 1000 and 2000 rpms

For very little $$$ you can purchase a vacuum test kit. Simple to use. Read this article & pay particular attention to the various scenarios. Great detective works starts here.
