Loud supercharger whine at high rpm?

Took my 07 gt put for a drive and noticed at full acceleration with the boost gauge maxed there is a fairly loud whine coming from the supercharger I think. It wasn't there before so I'm wondering if I need to replace my supercharger now. Any insight would be great guys.

That's why I'm asking, I've never heard it before so I'm just asking. Maybe my bearings are going, Idk...

So is this sound different than the normal whine, or are you just now hearing your superchargers normal noise? Sorry for the sarcasm, but an m90 making a whining noise is pretty normal around here.
 
It's not a high pitched whine, it's more of a lower pitched moan if you will

Is there anything I should be worried about? Can I push it to full throttle to see if it makes that noise still and not have to worry about breaking something?

They tend to be whiny little suckers. Take the belt off and see if it goes away. Or pulley down until you cant hear it anymore ;)

 
If you are stock airbox, then I had a friend describe the same thing to me and he hadn't latched the lid for the airbox correctly.
