Default Strang sound

I have this buzzing sound when I turn on my 400. It's coming from the engine bay, and today when i popped my hood, it sounded like it was coming from the intake mani area, anybody have an idea on what it could be??

Also I searched, but I couldn't find anything, I searched specific, and broad, and still nothing that sounds close to what I'm experiencing.

The starter could stay running for a few seconds after the engine starts. The starter is located directly under the intake which is why I said the starter.

Not without taking off the entire upper intake.
