'08 TL loud idle

Good Morning,
Long time Honda/Acura owner, just got a 2008 TL with 90k on it.
  • At idle it makes a loud sucking sound, as if it had an intake, which it does not. Its definitely coming from the passenger side.
  • No foam in the PS reservoir, no change turning the wheel.
  • Its not the injectors (I can hear those too).
  • Increases louder with RPM
  • No CEL

It should be due for 90k service soon, but wondering what it might be.
I have access to some good Honda mechanics, but not until next week.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

Does it increase or decrease as the car gets warmer?
