Its probably just the new sound of the intake from the increased air flow. Unless it sounds "odd" haha! When I put my new bbk tb/plenum on it sounded quite a bit different, a lot louder suction sound.
I think any hardware store would stock gasket maker material. It's just a big piece of gasket material and you can cut out the shape you need. Or you can get some silicone gasket material (that comes in tubes, can find it near thread lockers, etc.) but you need to make sure that you don't flood it with the silicone because it might seep quite a bit into the port and cause restriction of flow.
