Maybe it could be your timing chain? It has nothing to do with the radiator...but maybe under the load of overheating it skipped? lol i never heard of that but I know thats the same noise when a DSM timing belt breaks

cuz i heard that too many times

If the timing chain broke, wouldn't it be more of a horrible racket, rather then just a wizzing??? ...not that I know, just guessing here.
