throttle body rattling

ok, I am new to civics but I have never had a problem with this in the past. I removed the entire air intake and placed a new cone filter directly to the throttle body. now between 2100 and 2600 rmps it sounds like a fire alarm bell in the engine, I believe it is coming from the throttle body. has anyone encountered anything like this?

You probably need some sort of pipe. You hit a certain velocity and the frequency of the air waves is causing vibration. It's not like a Camaro where you can just put a filter on the throttle. It doesn't work without some sort of pipe with a length to cancel frequency out.
OR... you're rattling on the hood. Ghetto rigging is bad. Get an intake.

sepudo is an unknown quantity at this point
if you use an item as it is NOT intended you will get result that are also not what you want.

install it the way it should be and you'll solve your problem.

do it once, do it right
