Default Sounds terrible!!

I have a 06 .When I drive it the air intake sounds terrible.It sounds like metal to metal.Thats the best description I can think of.Its really loud and I was curiuos if anyone else noticed how loud and horrible the intake sounds.there has to be a way to make the intake quieter without constricting air flow.Any suggestions?

Its the air going into the intake,When it idles its quiet.Under acceleration,its awful loud.It sounds like I have a Black Wing installed on my car.The stock intake slots are really small on the 06,and its the air flow creating the noise.
