Would like to hear from more diesel owners before going back to dealer.

Thanks to all for your comments, highly valued as is this excellent forum.
I should clarify here. I'm not talking about the slight whine from the turbo, this is a very clear/loud whine from the engine, usually in the first 10mins of the journey. It came and went, sometimes it did it, sometimes not.

I don't think it's something to worry about, but not all of the diesel civics I've driven had it.
