Sounds like a vacuum leak. Best way to locate is with a spray bottle and some water. Spray in the area where the known noise is. You will have located your leak when the water sounds like someone drinking soda from the bottom of an empty cup with a straw. Good luck.

Sounds like a vacume leak, chk. for a cracked or broken vacume line or maybe one came off. Does it idle ruff? With it running open hood and listen for a low pitch whistle you may have to rev it up a little.

High pitch whistling noise in engine compartment of 2005 envoy

There may be a small hole or cut in a vacum line or possibly just loose. Also make sure the air filter box and the big hose to it are secure and clamps etc are tight. Pulleys and belts can make a high pitch sound also.
