Last night my car suddenly started whistling. I woke up this morning and no it's not a bad dream, the whistling is still there.
Symptoms are a whining / whistling sound that get strongest around 2500 rpm and stops at higher rpms. Sound is still there when car is stationary but reving engine. If I tap the accelarator I can hear the whistle too. All my searches have pointed me to a cracked "boot intake"

My question is "
Where is the boot intake in a 4.4i 2004"? Under the hood I tried to follow my intake find this mysterious "boot intake" but it looks like I may need to remove the silver plastic metalic cover? Or is the "boot intake" before that? Thanks!

number 9 is the boot intake in some models...not mine though
