Sounds like a vacumm cleaner.
I'm very happy with it all though. Letting it run up to temprature while checking for leaks of fuel or water.

Took it out for a test drive, not putting it under any load apart from light throttle as I knew the fueling is way out. Data logged that drive. Looks like I need to remove 4% of fuel on light load, but add near on 8% on slightly more load. The car is learning. Its all within learning limits.

Certainly more tunning needed. The MAF sensor isn't connected, but I did test it on the desk and it producing variying waveforms depending on airflow.
 
The video on Youtube is certainly getting some views. People commenting on it. Great to see. I'll get a longer "how its made" type video going on it.
 
The air filter noise on ideal attracted a few people interst on youTube, and they wondered what does it sounds like when engin revs get higher. Well couldn't do this at home, so went down the country lanes away from people.
Created a short video. Mind you took around 6 hours to edit and upload, hopefully I get faster at this. lol.

I was surpriced the air entering the filters got quieter with higher revs.
 
Just putting a claim in for blown speakers lol.🤣
