Default Ringing sound in VTEC?

Anybody notice a ringing sound when VTEC engages? It goes away as soon as I drop out of VTEC territory. Sort of sounds like a heat shield rattle, but seems to be coming from the engine compartment. Car has 50,000 miles. Any ideas?

OK maybe "ringing" wasn't a very good description. It is a really high pitched rattle, like a set of car keys was hanging off the side of the block, not very loud.
