Default Stupid throttle body noise! HELP?

I have a BBK 85MM throttle body (came with car) that whenever I start up my car it sounds like a big vacuum leak. I know its the Idle hole. Is there a way to quite it down a lot or make it go away untill I can get my new one? Its pissing me off! sounds like crap!!!

If it's an internal dog-whistle then you could I guess
dress the sharp edges (all but the IAC plunger seating
circle) and see if you can mellow it. But I worked on
a car the other week with a similar souding noise, that
turned out to be a torn little PCV hose.
