Default Whistling noise under acceleration -- Any ideas?

A whistling noise has developed on my 2002 S2000. It seems to happen when accelerating from a low RPM. It is not overly loud, but definately noticeable. This problem started soon after I installed an AEM intake. I have checked all of the connections that changed due to the intake, and they all look fine. Any ideas?

Thanks

This is typical of how the AEM sounds.

It is not a sucking noise, it is a whistle. Is that really typical? I kind of hope it is typical because then nothing is wrong. But the whistle noise is kinda annoying. Thanks.

Normal... Even with a drop in K&N filter.

Yeah, I have this whistle with my JR air filter. I'm assuming it's harmless.

It's harmless - just induction noise that is characteristic of the intake used. Honda went to great effort to design an airbox to "tune out" this sort of noise - notice the 3rd little chamber that comes off the chamber with the filter in it?
