    Wonder if maybe the A/C system is low on Freon or whatever is used as Freon these days.

    I noticed that you have a K&N filter. Is that a CAI? I noticed that when the weather is extremely warm the sound of air going into my engine is much louder. Possible reasons is because the heat makes the air less dense so your car is sucking more air in at a higher speed in order to get the same amount of oxygen in. It could just be the sound of air passing through your CAI.

    Make sure your connections or seals are all secure. If there is more air pressure, it could be leaking through places where it should not be passing through.
