I also sat in the garage, put it in neutral, and revved, also was able to reproduce the sound. I was able to hear it better in the garage, very odd sound. Like a high pitched sucking bong type whistle, would be the best way to describe it. And, I only hear it at the lowest part of the rev. The sound goes away once I get up to about 2000 RPMs.
Hope that helps.
I get this too. Its like Low whitsle, as if you were blowing into a bottle. It went away for the most part after I gutted the Airbox. the Air box is full of these tubes that create the whistle.

And thanks
If you're able to reproduce it in your garage.. just remove the accordian tube from the TB ( loosen 1 screw and pull out ).. if the noise persist then it'* elsewhere.. and if it'* from the intake you can hear it louder thru the TB.. try that.. more then likely it'* the intake.. but thats the easiest way to ensure its just that and nothing else
