Do you have a special air filter, that makes a choo sound?

Have a look and see is the pipe from the airbox still attached to the throttle body, they come off and can sound a bit like a whoosh

Turn on the engine when you're taking a look. It should make it a bit more obvious if you have a air leak somewhere.

You can also use a spray bottle with clean water and spray it all over the engine while it's idling.
If you hear a difference in engine revs you have found an issue.
