You got a CAI system on it? If you got the stock airbox, there is prolly a crack/leak somewhere where air is getting in causing a whistle sound.

100% normal. Its the air going past the throttle plate. Have heard this on a y7, and two y8 motors. They say its a D series thing. Coulc be the resonate frequency of that size TB. I have a short ram intake, its more prominent, however with the motor totally stock, you can still notice.

I noticed that my d16 did the same thing but only on very, very cold days. when i took it to my local dealership and explained that i was annoyed with it they "lubed" the belts and i havent heard it since.

my GSR did it right after installing an apex'i filter. I switched to AEM short ram, and it still did it.

Yeah my friend has a Dx with a Ractive short Ram and it makes that same niose you are talking about, we have tried to fix it but couldn't find anyway.

It just has something to with the design of the throttle body or something. Don't worry about it

Wonder if the dizzy is going **** up? Had a similar issue on mine that started out sounding like a cricket chirp and got worse. Replaced distributor and Presto, no more problem.
