Default Loud Humming from Intake Hose

has anyone had this. I was idling in the driveway and i hear a loud humming under the hood. I open the hood and the noise is coming from the intake box/hose. Almost like a vacumm cleaner that is clogged up? Very loud though, not normal. everything is in place and the filter is new. any ideas?

OK I can do that. What makes it sound like that though? Truck runs great, no idle problems whatsoever.

It's the famous 4.0L moose mating call. Very common.
