what could be the noise right in that area and when i move that piece it whistles louder and when i mash the gas and hold it,it isnt as loud
 


there wasnt anything tore or ripped off and the piece im talking about is the extra gasket material,i gently pulled it down and it makes the whistling noise louder
 
Then you have a massive vacuum leak. Time to re-do the intake gasket.

The whistling gets less noticeable when you rev it up and hold it because manifold vacuum decreases as the rpms increase.

Make sure when you reinstall the new gasket that it doesn't slip and get misaligned. I usually put a dab of black rtv on the corners and let it skin up for a few minutes, then set the gasket in place and go from there. This minimizes the chance of the gasket moving.
