Throttle body noise?

So for the past month or so, haven't had time to post for a while, I have been hearing a noise from the throttle body anytime I press on the gas. It could just be that I'm crazy, but it's not supposed to be loud enough to hear over the engine while I'm in the car is it? Or maybe I just need to clean it again? I don't know, maybe it's the throttle cable? I have no idea, any help is appreciated.

What does it sound like? It could be the buttefly valve? If you have your intake on it is most likely that. Whistle sound?

My intake has been off for almost a year, been running fine. It sounds like a valve opening/closing when I press the gas, could be the butterfly valve, but it seems to be louder than it should be, like I said, I can hear while I'm in the car (not while moving, when parked). Anyway, again any help is appreciated.

Oh, I didn't know that it also happened at a standstill. Then that makes it even moreso the butterfly valve.
