Default Strange noise coming from engine area

I have a 2000 ws6 and the other day it started making a strange humming kinda grinding sound coming from what sounds like the intake. The car is stock except for a slp MAF sensor that the previous owner installed. The sound only occurs once the car has warmed up and its at idle. If engine is revved up it goes away. Can anyone help me with this
