Completely normal and nothing you can do about it.
Edit - with a closed air intake like the stock one, you wouldn't hear this. So when the rotofab goes on, its introduced. My 18 did it with the rotofab and my 21 does it same with the RF. My buddy's 20 with the rotofab does it as well. I've heard this on at least 5 ZL1s with rotofabs.

Ok. Yea, I put the rotofab on at like 50 miles so I can't be certain it was doing it before the install.
I'll check the tb bolts too, like Justin suggested.
I will say, though, that if this is normal it's a pretty annoying sound. I just want pure blower whine and exhaust noise
