Default throttle body valve whistle?

i got this quirk with my tundy when i step on the accelerator. it makes a bit of a whistle for a moment.

this happened after swapping for a k&n intake. i'm assuming it must be all the rush of air whistling past the throttle valve, or position sensor.

think there is a way to remedy this? perhaps maybe without going back to the factory airbox? (still got it around).

This issue has been discussed on this board for some time, but nobody knows for sure what the problem is, or the solution. My guess has always been an exhaust system issue.

Its the vacuum from the intake. Some people actually like the sound. If you cant stand the sound, put the stock air box back in it.
