Intake Whistle

Intake Whistle
Just got a short ram installed. I hear the whistling at half throttle is normal on from one on a D16Y7, but is there ANY way to get rid of this? I personally think it sounds like **** but I doubt there's much I can do. Searching the board didn't help too much either.
Thanks

It sounds like i got a belt that's rubbing like crazy...only a small section of the throttle though. Right around half throttle it just whistles like crazy, past that it sounds like any other intake. Its a vibrant, but it had to be modified to fit back behind my strutbar.

I get the whistle sound on top end, around 5000 rmp.
I thought it was the valve springs....?
Whatever it is, doesn't sound very healthy, especially because it comes at high rpm ranges, when the motor is under heavy load....

I know that noise too. Where the engine makes a squeal after about 5000 rpm...I don't know what that is but I don't like it.
As far as my intake making a whistle, I really don't know what to do. Are there any companies who's intake don't whistle on a D16Y7?

could be a leak in your intake as well.. possibly on the IM???
but its not all short ram intakes.. a friend has his on his integra and it doesn't make a whitsling noise but a nice deep sound..

So it IS the throttle body...
My buddy just purchased an Injen cold air for his Y7 engine. It's going on in a few days. I'll yet you guys know if his makes this whistle sound or not.
