Diagnosing Engine Sound

Diagnosing Engine Sound
Since I have first owned this truck, I noticed it made an awkward "swooshing" sound when it drove. When it idles, there is this type writer of a sound that is just always looming coming from the dashboard (the engine). As you accelerate with the truck, that type writer sound becomes more intense and sounds like a very annoying swooshing sound. I can mute it out with loud music, but trying to enjoy a peaceful ride with low music is out of the question. This sound just never goes a way,and really infiltrates the cab when the truck is accelerating. I've had it checked several times, but nobody fixes it. I had the belt replaced, and the idler pulley replaced as well, but it did not make a difference. It bothers me a lot though. I made a couple of videos of the noise. One at idle from the engine compartment, and then another inside the cab with various amounts of throttle. Any ideas would be helpful, thanks.

Neon, I have that intake, and it does not make that sound at all. When you installed the Volant, did you use the seal (or get a different one) to put between the TB and the main tube that goes to the filter housing? Should have been just a small, thin, round rubber circle piece. I agree with dakotas, thats not right, sounds like an air leak.

Well this noise has been prevalent since I first owned this truck. It has done this regardless with the stock airbox, K&N FIPK, airhat, and volant. There is defiantly some kind of sucking noise it makes as well, but the fluttering noise it makes is what really bothers me. One might think it was a leak off the block, but even after the headers and new gaskets it still made the noise. I just wish I could explain it better.
