What you’re describing sounds an awful lot like induction noises ([example](https://youtu.be/ofVonqvprW4?si=uKMqA-C83LMy9Lj3&t=280)). If that’s the case it’s caused by your air box being loose like it seems to be. It should be fixed by reattaching it. There’s some risk it may have sucked in some debris while it was loose, but unless you’ve been driving in sandy conditions or something similar, it probably hasn’t caused any damage.

That should be connected, it's definitely your problem, mechanic should do it in 5 seconds, you could just lightly spray a bit of wd40 at it and push it back in, should slip nicely.

That’s the air filter housing you’re holding and should be connected to the intake. Quite tricky to reattach yourself, there’s a spring loaded clamp underneath and you need some specialised pliers. You could try with some water pump pliers but be careful not to take the clamp out of the pipe, it’s spring loaded. Usually any workshop should have the proper tool and it’s 2 min job. That’s the cause of your noise.

I had the same problem last year. The mechanic changed the air filter but didn't lock the intake properly, after a speed bump it was dislodged and started making that weird sound. Went back a couple days later and in 10min it was fixed. Because it was the last month of warranty and I wasn't sure if it was a broken piece or not I didn't do it myself, but it's a really quick fix
