if you recently cleaned it and sprayed too much on it might just be sucking air harder with the restricted flow. Dirty will have similar sound.....dont go by the meter for cleaning
hope this helps

Since you already have the problem, I would take it off and clean it again. Even if the sound goes away, you can't be sure that there's not some type of restriction remaining.
