I'm not sure if its in the intake

It almost sounds like its sand running and hitting the aluminium inside my intake
It's pretty dirty inside my hood so idk If that's it

video with a sound clip? That is an odd description of a sound. First it was rocks, now it is sand.

BOOMER, is that sig big enough? What size is that, 2800x6000? I think my eyes are bleeding

Film it or we won't know what's going on! Haha... Words can only be so descripitive eh. If you did drop something and forget to pick it up, that's okay! Could've dropped nuts, screws, bolts, anything.. And higher RPMS would make whatever is in there shake more, therefor the lower ones you wouldn't hear so much because it's not taking in as much air thus shaking er up in there!!

I was trying to pry my headlight assembly out once and forgot a flathead screw driver by my alternator.. I was one speed bump away from arc welding it to the whole alternator assembly lol

If it's spark knock, it should go away or lessen considerably with premium gas.
