Whirly sound engine

Hey guys, I was wondering if this is normal since this is the first time hearing it today.
It's like a whirly noise from drivers side bank.

What could it be?

- 24 k miles, 2018
- oil change about 1k miles ago
- stock engine
- not tuned
- no codes or change in performance that I can tell.

That same sound had me on the hunt for a long time since it was unfamiliar. After installing CAI, sound tube delete and TB it’s not a noticeable. My friends car sounded the same way when it was stock too and after he changed the same items the results were the same.

Do you also hear the “whoosh” when you turn it off?

I hear something similar as of late, 16k miles. I do have a dent past the secondary cats which made me wonder if it was related, but it seems its more prevalent when it rains so now I think it might be a wet belt. idk a bit of a strange sound.

Yup that woosh has always been there.
Idk maybe a hot day has it chugging a little harder.
I just haven't noticed it be that loud.
One thing I did notice the other day was the intake suck in air when accelerating. Maybe I'm just noticing these things randomly.

Otherwise no real complaints, still sounds badass and pulls badass when driving.
