Long story short, just had the steering column replaced by a shop (no warranty)
And now I hear this sound from the driver-side when I hit the gas pedal/when accelerating. (my steering wheel buttons no longer work also, but that’s another story)

It sounds like air is leaking from somewhere or air sucking in. It is not the tires, I can not hear it if I roll down the window, maybe the wind noise is too loud. I had my wife accelerate at idle with the hood up and I could not replicate the sound. The best way I can describe the sound is like when release air from a tire when accelerating. It sounds like a 4 banger compressor engine on my last car..…lol maybe the shop hooked me up with a turbo!

Any idea??????
Could this be the intake or the exhaust? I have the OEM performance intake and the performance exhaust. Maybe there’s air leak somewhere? Or is this the sound of the perf. intake (air from the top of the intake box inlet near the coil covers)???
