Faint whine sound under throttle?

It's the intake. Low humidity days where the air is feeding perfectly into the manifold. It gives off a low FI like sound. It happens more often when you modify the intake.

this is exactly what happened when i did the washer mod, now i dont even hear the drivetrain whine because the exhaust is so loud XD

i doubt it is the stock intake, the whine OP is probably talking about sounds like faint belt whine(kind of like a supercharger) that is coming from the rear drive axle and diff

intake noise is more like this(go to 29m41s)
