Any upgrades to the engine? Cam, exhaust etc? Does it stop if you open the throttle a little?

With the air cleaner off you will hear some noise that is otherwise muted by the cover when it's installed. Some aftermarket air cleaners will also allow more noise to escape and be louder. Add a cam with overlap and some noises will be increased.
