It is a high pitch whining noise only when im on the accelerator. Happens around 3500 but not when I have the pedal down, only when I am pushing sligh pressure on the gas.
hmmm....

Its the intake whistle, mine does it too, its normal. I actaully like the sound, sometimes i drive down the street at 1/4 throttle just to hear it.

ha thanks, I thought I may have been a retard who couldn't install an intake!
Good thing I am not that dumb... hey it's my first mod I've done so far myself and not the last!
Thanks again guys but is there any way to lower this noise?
I hate it but I love the noise when I'm full throttle...

Don't think so, it's just the air moving through the intake.
In the cold mine whistles real loud. A friend of mine asked me if I had a turbo on it  I love the sound though.

Personally I like it. Why people dislike the sound is beyond me, though I will offer some input: Open element air filters are not restricted by sound deadening OEM parts. So of course it's going to sound like a vacuum cleaner at times!
Like I said, I think it's a good sound. Just accept it as your car's new musical tune

It always makes sound, but at 2k-2500rpm or so it whistles. I think it's whistling because it's bored.
