I reckon it's trying to communicate with other whale penises in the area!

A video of it would help!

Check ur idle speed 500rpm is kinda low. It could be the ivac or idle or dirty Throtle body. That's why u hearing this sucking sound

Ya my thoughts exactly. Sound itself probably isn't an issue with the whale **** but with your idle control.

And not to be confused with, the whale penis + the large pod filter makes a nice, loud induction sound (air sucking sound.), as we know that the intake itself isn't the issue.

If you're idling that low it could be shaking stuff around like the whale dick which would cause a 'humming' sound but really, it's just vibrating.
Check to see if it's loose.

I know when my idle drops to under 800, all the loose bits in my car start to vibrate and make strange noises.

Yea, relating to that, illchay, is your intake secured with a bracket? Might wanna put it on if haven't already. Mine's not on atm. =P
