The whistling noise is caused by a restriction in the flow of water that is under pressure. Some faucets that are close to needing rebuilding will whistle as the water is shut off as there is a small leakage occurring.

Whistle is caused by water traveling at an abnormally velocity. It happens due to excessive line pressure. Something loose in the water stream can vibrate as the water runs by it causing a whistling noise. The whistling sound can also be caused an unusually high velocity flow of water passing through a restriction.

Most probably lime or other mineral deposits inside the valve stem. Remove the shower head and clean off the deposits.
