@twiztidbowler Not a bad guess, most people seem to think its related to supercharger whine or some such rubbish..... The noise is actually classic 'gun-port whistle' - airflow over the gun ports.
@RangerThompson Yeah, I thought about changing the title to "What a P-51 supercharger DOESNT sound like"... but yes, it would be wasted on the armchair-aeromechanics.
Finally someone else in the world who doesnt think its the supercharger causing the noise :), chatted to Maurice Hammond after his display at breighton in "Janie" n he explained its like blowing across huge bottles when the angle of attack changes
I would think it might be the bomb shackles mounted on the bottom of the wing thats making that noise

You could even make it perfectly clear above in the text box what the sound really is.... but sadly most dumbasses won't read it.

No, not the supercharger. Its air flow over the gun ports.

Its the supercharger. Only sounds that way when pushing lots of manifold pressure.

It is absolutely NOT the supercharger. Its gun port whistle. Google "p-51 gun port whistle".
