Clean the TB. You have an A/M intake on the car correct?

if i had to guess i would say leak in the intake or IACV/TB somewhere.

have you done anything to the car recently that may have caused this? anything at all?

My car does that too, I almost feel like all of ours do it to some extent, Ive cleaned my IACV and TB, and its like a high pitch squeal but as soon as theres any gas it cuts off. As far as I've found, its when ever the IACV opens it squeals. with an aftermarket intake its much more noticable and louder. With my old injen it was more of a hiss, but now with my stock air box it sounds like a beep / squeal.

Are you sure the sound is coming from the engine compartment? and not through your speakers.

I'm not the only one then. I also get a an annoying linear beep @ 60+.

It tends go away if you ease off the throttle or go past 65.
