Default warped belt sound coming from LS6 intake?

The last couple of days I have been noticing a sound getting louder and louder. At first I thought it was a belt or something, but once I opened the hood last night with the car running it seemed like it was coming from around the intake and/or throttle body. I know the bigger intake will make more noise, but it shouldn't sound like a warped belt. Could anyone help guide me to a fix? Thanks!

Could you describe the sound a bit more. I don't know what a "warped belt" sounds like.

Spray the base of the intake with some carb cleaner or ether and see if it goes away. If it does it needs intake gaskets.

I had the same sound come from my truck when I ported the TB... I just tightened the TB down a little and it went away.
