Default Weird noise when accelerating lightly 5.4 3v

Got a buzzing/humming noise that randomly occurs when I lightly accelerate on my 04 f150 4x4 5.4 3v. The noise disappears once I let go of the gas or floor it. I have also noticed that the engine sort of bogs down when the noise occurs. I've found a video that shows exactly what my truck is doing but couldn't find any definitive answers. Any idea what could be making the annoying noise?

Do you have any electronics plugged in via Aux while this is happening?

No I do not have an AUX input at the moment. Everything is stock except for an aftermarket "Air Raid" air intake and filter. I took that off and inspected it for and holes or cracks it might have but nothing. Bought the truck about two months ago and worked well until recently i have noticed the sound.

Another shot in the dark, have you checked the foam gasket around the air filter tray on your truck? Described here - https://www.f150forum.com/f4/bog-dow...solved-166431/

I do not have the stock intake so I do not have a tray thus no foam gasket. The truck came with it. Looks something like this...
