Default FXDL a/c squeak

I installed a chinese air cleaner, and now I get a constant squeak at idle. I thought it was the backplate rubbing on the cylinders so I installed some orings between the backplate and breather holes, but this did not solve the problem. I realized that it is not the backplate squeaking but its actually the sound that the throttlebody is making when sucking in air....has this happened to anyone else? is there a fix for this? it just irritates me when I come to a stop and the motor is sucking in air like there is no tomorrow and it makes a squeaking sound...
