Default Noise from Throttle

The search appears to still be broken, so I am sorry if this is a repeat question.

I installed an AEM intake, but I was getting this noise before I installed it. When I hit about 76 - 77, I get this really high pitch noise that is directly associated with the throttle. If I stop giving the car gas, the noise goes away, but it is almost unbearingly loud at 80 and since I drive about 80 most of the time, it is really starting to annoy me.

Is there anything that I can do to get rid of this noise short of trying to insulate the interior. I saw that some guying were dynomatting their interiors, but I like the engine noise, I just hate this high pitch noise.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Bear in mind I have a LOT of NA based mods w/ the exhaust and so forth, however, I had the AEM and noticed a lot of tin-can, clatter-chatter, ping-ding,doo-wing, eeeeng-eenng type sounds when I accelerated to WOT. I took the AEM off and put a JWT PoopChanger on and it sounds a LOT better...

Also note - the AEM has a rather interesting sucking noise... don't know if this is it or not.

Default yeah I have that too

If you pay close attention to it, it happens in every gear around 3500 rpm. To me its never been that loud and over 60 the wind noise makes it imperceptible. I actually like it. When I cant hear it know my air filter's clogged.
