I vote for the old "GT-40 Whistle". I have heard this sound from just about every one of these intakes I have seen installed on a 5.0.

Of course it also could be the throttle body. If it's from BBK.

Sounds like you need to have a sit down with him

And my vote goes towards the TB also. Hope ya find the problem soon.

Hey, I had a BBK and a gt-40 intake on my car. I always thought that whistle was the power steering pump going bad. Heh, go figure.
