Default 318 weird noise and hesitation?!?!?

so my 98 dodge 5.2 318 makes a weird sucking/whistling noise wen i step on it even wen its warm. i know its normal for these dodges to do that wen cold start cause my old dodge did it to. but it does it even wen the engines warmed up and it seems like its causing hesitation. does anyone know what this is? also wen i start from a stop its seems like my truck doesnt go anywhere until 2500rpms? any help will be much appritiated

The sucking noise sounds to be a vacuum hose that's either not connected, or cracked/ripped.

check the gasket under the throttle body, if it isn't lined up exactly with the TB , it'll whistle.
