CAI
Sometimes at a certain heavy or light throttle your intake will make a slight wistle... I had mine for a month now and it just started wistleing under very like throttle and very heavy throttle...I can only hear it when the window is open though
that would be hella sweet.

Check the clamps
Check all your hose-clamps/joints for proper tightness - if it's not that, then it's probably normal with your CAI.
Btw, is it a new problem? Ie: you had the CAI installed and it wasn't making this noise after the install, but now it is?
-or did you ALWAYS notice this noise after the CAI install?
Either way, I'd say you have your answer. . .

Yeah I have a high pitch whinning sound coming from my car and its the alternator going bad. I haven't gotten a chance to fix it yet tho, but i think it might be that problem as well.

If it a high pitched whine, it may be the alternator bearing.

same noise
I've had the same noise for the past 60k mi. It sounds like a jet engine whine. I only hear it at around speeds of 70-90mph with mild light throttle. I always thought it sounded cool and the mechanics never seem to think anything is wrong with my car, so I just enjoy it now. Sounds like a turbine engine.

im pritty certean that its the wind going through the foglight and out the back flap that you had to pull down to put the CAI filter in. When you break that seal to pull out that plastic flap thing it truly never goes back in the same way and ull see lil gaps here and there, im guessin its that, cuz mine will have that slight whistle whether im accelerating or not
