Default screaming/whining spark plugs?????

anyone ever heard of plugs making this kind of noise?

car has been making a high pitch scream/howl type noise (i thought my turbo was blown) so out of irritation/frustration/boredom i decided to try go diagnose/break it further today

went fine holding 2+bar down the dualler when loaded up, until i let tim drive it he gets in car then does a huge misfire as the boost peaked in 3rd and then the screaming noise came back

i change the 3000 mile 1 year old 22thou ngk 9 plugs for a set of 700 mile 24thou plugs of the same that tim had laying about, disconnected the amal (1.4 barheld) and took it back out.....fine (but not fast lol). i then reconnect the amal and it holds full boost mint with no misfire or screaming noise

please explain

No, no ideas, but if gas is escaping past a plug, then I daresay it will make more noise than just a pfff type fart noise.
