Default Engine whistle when accerate

Ok! here's the scenerio, let's say I'm going 35 mph in 3rd gear and I saw a red light, step on the brake to slow down a little to like about 20-25 mph and the light turn green, still in 3rd gear and I want to accerate I hear a pitch like a hiss or whistle. Is it normal or something wrong?

sounds normal to me. It's happened to me and alot of my friends with honda's, especially when you have a cold air intake. When your in gear but driving at a low rpm the intake seems to give off a little whistle sound. I kind of like the noise and I'm pretty sure it does no damage to the cat at all.

Very normal. My S2k with 73k whistles and my friend's brand new 05' S2k whistles too. If it's not normal, then there's something wrong with all of our cars!!
