Super Charger Noise After Intake Installation

I started noticing the sound a few days ago since it started getting colder.

I sounds like something is rattling around, but when I rev up it goes away.

The sound only occurs at idle.

I checked all the bolts for the intake and they are tight.

The funny thing is that you can't hear it from the outside of the car.

You can only hear it when your in it.

With the hood open you only hear the normal sounds coming from the engine.

I compared my SS/SC with a friend of mine SS/SC we both have the same intake installed and the cars sound exactly alike with the hoods open.

Except for my car which has the weird sound when we sat in them.

With all of this going on I am not experiencing any losses in power.

My car still runs smooth.

Not sure what to do.

Is it the weather?

do you have a smaller pulley on?

I noticed my supercharger making a noise similar to a valve tap after the smaller pulleys. I think everyones will do this sooner or later. Don't really think it is anything to worry about.

Mine does it too. Don't worry about it.

Someone posted a video on here a while back and everyone agreed that they all had the same noise.

Check to make sure the hose running from the crank case to the intake is not plugged or bent. I had a weird clunking type of noise only at idle, but when I gave it gas it went away. Turns out I crimped the hose installing my catch can and cause this noise.

Yeah mine makes the same noise, I think there is a little extra wiggle room until it heats up.

I have an AEM Cold Air Intake Assembly; Silver;Part #: 21-532C I bought it from www.autopartswarehouse.com. Just checked the website now and they don't sell this part anymore. I wonder why?

I listened to that video of the SS with the SuperCharger Noise and my car is almost to that point. Is that normal?it never sounded like that before and I only have 10,000 miles on it.
The only after market I put on myself was the Ingalls and the AEM intake.
The Dealer put on the rest GMP Exhaust Manifold, GMP Cat-Back Exhaust.
Car still runs good I get the same MPG and the car temp is normal avg is at 185 degrees. So I guess I have nothing to wory about then Huh?
Has anybodies car been running alot harder since it's getting colder?
My ride has been really Hard lately everytime I hit a bump or a pot hole it sounds like the car is about to break in half. but when I am on a smooth path its fine?

your ride is going to be more rough with the ingalls because the engine doesnt have flexibility anymore
