Default "whistling" sound from intake at certain throttle positions

its a Stock B16a2 from a 2000 SI i'm using the intake piping from the SI but i'm using the intake filter box from my 98 HX ( i couldn't get hold of a SI filter box).
It looks about the same though. When i rev at a certain position, the intake will have a whistling sound. when i rev very little, the sound isnt there. when i rev higher, the sound isnt there.. only at a certain position does it come on.

anyone experience this? any fix?
( don't say get a CAI )

You'd notice that sound even more with an intake system. I get it too (99si w/ AEM CAI). Normal.

If you drive with your radio on at volume "2" you most likely won't be able to hear it. Maybe an exageration...

Whistling sound means it is working.
