Default Do all B18C1 engines do this?

Took a long break from Hondas, but I'm back in the game. This time I've got a '97 GS-R and I'm lovin' the B18C1 engine.

I noticed a loud hum/whine coming from the intake. Is this normal? My buddy has a '96 GS-R and it makes the same noise, so that would make me think "yes, it's normal" but I've never had a Honda engine make this noise (B16A2, B20B, a few D16s, etc). Any idea what causes it?


Thanks,
Sonny

Its the sound of the air coming in from that big *** oem filter lol sounds fine. With the cap on the filter box it should be much more quite.
