Default sound from upper intake
I have a weird sound coming from what seems like right at the upper intake. Only weird thing is when I put just a little pressure on the intake it goes away. Any one got an idea?

Yes I just put the intake back on. Lower intake gasket went out. The sound was there before it went out but had a ford tech look at it and they said nothing to worry about cause goes away when the hood is on it.

Goes away with the hood on, are you serious? If it bad, replace it yourself and I wouldn't let that tech touch your car.
