That means your IAC is working.

when you give it gas the throttle plate opens which bypasses the IAC.

you probably have the air filter loose or missing gasket or on wrong or something thats letting all that sound out.

Eh the Orings usually come off with the old one and the new one comes with a replacement because they dont want you to reuse the old one. Run the engine an unplug the IAC and see if the idle start changing, they might have given you a defective one.
