Default Loud Whistle from the car at around 3,000RPM

Hey guys,I got a 91 civic std tranny. I am getting a whistle which sounds like its coming from the right side of the engine and it starts at around 3,000 RPM and stops at around 5,000 RPM. I think it may be the tranny. Any suggestions?

Pop open your air box, remove the filter, and clean out all the sand and other debris inside. My car did the exact same thing when I first bought it, and this cleared it right up.

Its more of a sound an actual wistle makes, and I have a cold air on it. And I just cleaned it

+1 for it being the intake. Every intake i've installed or heard right after install have made some sort of whistle sound

Alright, just was concerned about the high sound of it, you can really hear it inside or outside the car even if you were far away its really loud.
