Default Volant CAI makes annoying whining noise?

My friend has a 02 Z28 and it came with a volant CAI( i think thats how you spell it ) already installed. His car makes this low whining noise when driving, and I said that I believe its the CAI. When its idling and you pop the hood, you can hear it sucking.

Am i probably correct in my assumption that the annoying whining noise is probably the volant kit, and that if he dosnt like it he should change it out and get a simple lid?

It kinda sounds like a really wimpy blower is on there, if that helps at all.

What do you mean? What makes up the air system. Are you saying its broken or its just noisy.

My K&N FIPK makes the same noise...I usually can't hear it with the hood closed, though.
