So my 2000 Boxster S has developed a bizarre sound, that only shows up sometimes, but seems to be getting more frequent and worse. Due to its sporadic nature I can't record it but I think I can better describe.

Under light throttle and light load there is a loud sound from the passenger side that sounds a lot like blowing across the top of a beer bottle. Every once in a while, if the A/C compressor is on, it will do it at idle when the A/C compressor cycles on. It can happen at just about any RPM and the tone doesn't change with engine RPM. If I either lay into the throttle or completely let off the sound stops. Sometimes (like last night) it's a lot more sensitive and seems to do it a lot more, requiring more throttle to make it go away.
