I reinstalled the factory intake but disconnected the flexible rubber hose from the black plastic box. It will make the same squeal noise so it appears that the factory intake is either restricting just enough air flow to the throttle body or it is muffling the noise.

So is everyone else just living with this problem? I don't want to give up and go back stock. I have concluded that it is not an Airaid issue. What has anybody done to try to eliminate this problem? Help!!!

Seriously, really not trying to be a wise-a$$, but try searching on "whistle". I've read dozens of posts and haven't found any real solution to the whistle (or squeal if you prefer). Either you have it (Airaid seems to have it more than others) or you don't. Sometimes tightening things down helps, other times it doesn't. I haven't found a single "oh yeah - just do this little thing and it goes away" post. In fact, I found several where it ended in "I took the damn thing off".
Good luck with whatever advice you can get. I hope it works out for you!

Like you all know, its the TB causing the noise, the aftermarket intakes just let you hear it better then the restricted air box does.
There is not much you can do about it, besides live with it.
Ive had mine since June 07'....
Eventually you wont hear it anymore, honestly I dont hear it at all, I think it actually went away

I have the Airaid and the light whistle. It doesn't really bother me, and usually is easily drowned out by the stereo anyways. I have heard of people adding one of those pre-filters and claiming it helps, but haven't done so myself to verify.

Banks Exhaust and Airaid with Throttle Body
I have the same sqeal, after installing a Banks Exhaust with Airaid CAI and Throttle body....which is annoying to listen to at times.
I like the increase in power, but it sounds like I have a turbo in the jeep,,which we know is not the case....Might just to live with this, after spending over a grand putting this stuff on my JK.
