Weird whistle noise coming from BOV (i think)

After hauling *** in my Evo I parked it back in my garage and slightly hit the throttle, I then noticed a very high pitch "whistle". Further investigation lead to my conclusion of that its coming from the BOV.

The whistle happen at like 1500 after letting go of throttle. What could it be?

Thanks for the input. I'm looking for an Allen wrench that's will fit the bolts to take a look at the inside of the BOV. Im having some suspicion that it is a fake Greddy, not sure. If it is then I'm in the market for a new BOV.
