Flapping sound when over 5K RPMs

Was the intake manifold cover (plastic thing on top of the engine) removed and put back recently? That would do it, if it was loose... And it's probably insulated enough from wind that speed wouldn't matter, but rpm definitely would because it's bolted directly to the engine.
