Bad seal on your intake more than likely

no.

Lots of hondas whistle through the intake. It's normal. It's just the sound of the air flowing through the intake/intake manifold.

Most likely normal...unless you're describing some other whistling. It's hard to E-diagnose a car you've never heard or driven.

what about when you get on it real hard and it sounds like a plastic bag wrapped around your axle?

buddy of mine has a b20v integra and it sounds like a plastic bag is wrapped around his axle or something.
