Is the airbox cover secured completely? If the airbox is still open it will most deffinately hum. I had a similar situation with my air box when I installed my K&N. Apparently the dealer someone managed to break both of the clips on the base of the airbox where the tabs of the top slid into, so It made a slight humming sound. My solution was a couple of long zip ties to hold down the top of the air box, which really was a pita to put in because I took apart the whole thing to get the zip ties underneath.

well do i need to zip tie it?? i mean i sorta like the hum sound as long as it's not bad for my car.

Did you simply change the filter to the K&N? Did you mess with the box at all or the resonator?

Cause I was messing with mine a few weeks ago. I've been running without the resonator for over a year but left the little rubber seal that went around the airbox hole.

Well I tried removing this & got this LOUD whine from the airbox at idle. I put that rubber piece back in & it was gone.

It is supposed to hum a little bit though.

yeah just replaced the filter to K&N and the humming is not that loud but i like it...so it should be fine right? i didn't mess with the box at all.

Sounds normal to me.
