Got an owl under the hood?

Hey,
I start my car in cold morning and I seat on the car for about 3-5 min. to warm up the engine and I notice that I hear some owl crying sound.. it goes "whooooo whooooooo whooooo" for about a minute or so, and it stops. It really sounds like an owl in the forest.
My Question is ... does anyone else have this problem? or is it just me?

yeah its just air being sucked through the intake. its normal at idle, especially right when you start up the car.

its a lot more noticeable with an aftermarket intake.

I only hear that owl sound when the A/C is on and the car is at idle. No CAI installed, just a K&N.
