dang, i would put in my two cents, but i just can't think of what a tea kettle sounds like, any other way to describe it? is it a metallic rattling or a sound like air escaping or whining?

FWIW, I had a bad seal on the airbox when I replaced the air filter one time. It would whistle at about 3k or so.

its like a eeeeerrnnnnnnn when you hold it in place its like eeeeeeee wwell its hard to explain

but the sound is somewhere on the driver side it SEEMS

i COULD be wrong because i use to have an exhaust rattle which we believed was the cat heatshield but ended up being the resonator

so is there anyway i can get this checked or how can i diagnose this

it's had a short ram on there for over 10+ months i know that forsure lol

only thing i DID do to it recently is put on another new aem dryflow filter a month or so ago...

i dont think i had that 3k whine from when i FIRST had it on nor a few days + weeks after that...

i dont think standstill revving to 3k+ would have the same whine

and again if i stay constant past 3k rpm i'll have the whine at a steady pace

You might have a vacuum leak somewhere, in addition to the possibility that it's just your newer filter sucking air.
