Default Air box problem...HELP!

Last night I installed a K&N air filter into my 99 A4 1.8TQ. I thought that the installation went smoothly, but there is a problem. I have never listened to my engine up close right after I turned the car on, so I don't know if the noise was happeneing beofre but I doubt it. On the top of the air box, the tube coming from the left goes into this grey plastic thing. About 2 min after I start the engine, it makes this sort of clicking sound. The clicking sound continues for a couple min and then stops and doesn't come back. Any ideas as to what the problem is?? I could greatly use some help.

Default Dont worry about it that is normal. It has to do with the Evac system.

All of our cars do that. Now when it does not ever make a sound then be worried.
