Hey everyone, I have a 00 xj limited and there is this mystery whistle that comes and goes. It never lasts more than about 5-10 minutes. It goes away if I accelerate. Any advice would be appreciated. I have a video of the noise here

I have this same whistle, although it's much more faint. Faint enough that I thought I was crazy and hearing things. I'll check the two of these and see if I get it fixed. I just had my throttle body off a few weeks ago so I guess this would make some sense.
