sounds like locusts attacking
let's explain what happened.....as I pulled out of the drive way I was heavy on the throttle. After doing so I heard a pop and my RPMs jumped around. Come to find out my throttle body boot popped off. Now I drove back home with the boot off. I didn't really drive hard, but had to go on the freeway. Nothing out of the ordinary happened. Now today I reinstalled the boot and everything else looked fine. When I took the car out for a test drive I noticed a whine from the engine at about 2000 rpm. At idle nothing and at lower RPM nothing. Like I said in the title it sounds similar to locusts. I suspect something is wrong with the throttle body unit. Could I be correct in assuming so. Thanks so much in advance for any info!!

sounds like....
When street lights turn on how it has that sound whilest they warm up. My turbos make a slight sound...like a siren....but not too loud. The sound gets louder and speeds up between 1500-2000 RPM. At 3 g's I cant hear it anymore....

Well I think I found out the cause.....my throttle body boot popped of the throttle body valve. When I reinstalled it, on the the bi-pipes was seated on the rail that is at the bottom. I guess it was making contact with the radiator fan. I've yet to notice the sound so maybe that did the trick.
