Question K&N Typhoon Question

Anyone install one and notice a "whistle" from inside the air filter/intake tube?

I have no lights, buzzers or warnings and the car runs great. It just "whistles" now.

Yep, silly question, but I'd like to hear from others...

At certain rpm's/throttle positions the throttle body plate can create a resonance much in the same way you can with a blade of grass between your lips. Thus a whistle.
