97 MAX (IDLE QUESTION

Hello All--I have a 97 Maxima 105K runs like it did the first day i bought it--100%! My question is--When the hood is open with the engine running---I notice when i hit the gas--i hear a sound like aspirator valve nothing serious i just hear it--i was told its normal i just wanted to see what all of you thought.. Also--When the car is running in park--inside the car with the windows closed i hear like a groaning sound its hard to explain -Turning the wheel doesnt change anything--Its like a vibration a humming sound that goes away when the engine is 100% warm....The exh system is also in great shape! Thanks for any input... Have a great night all.......

Its normal. Your rapidly applying vacuum to the intake piping.
