Whistling noise coming from engine bay

When i have start my 95 z28 lately theres been a whistling noise coming from the engine bay. When i punch the gas it goes away but at idle its really bad. It maybe nothing but i figured I run it by you guys on here and see what you'll thought.

Some of the aftermarket TBs have been know to generate a whistle sound.

What type of induction your running? Sometimes the weather can effect that whistle sound. When it's cold sometimes my car will whistle at idle.

Re: Whistling noise coming from engine bay

That would do it. That was the first thing I was going to say to check.

Dont drive it around like that BTW. Unmetered air will make it run lean, and if its bad enough, it will cause detonation, which is not good.
