V50 1.6D Engine "Whirring" Noise.

My 2007 1.6D V50 now makes a Whirring Noise when on the road, especially on acceleration. I suspect injector seal ?
Hopefully not a turbo issue ?
I attach a sound file .
All advice welcome. ..

Gotta say nothing in that recording sounds especially unusual to me (though I seem to have a thing for 200k mile cars so I might just be used to more noises). Injector seals tend to make a much more periodic "pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft" noise because the most pressure escapes on the power stroke of the faulty cylinder so I very much doubt it's injector seal - you can hear the noise about 30s into this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCNMDJlOg4I
