Default Strange blowing/vaccuum noise from M44 ti

Hey guys,
I recently got a CEL and started hearing a strange vaccuum noise from my engine bay. The engine still runs like normal, and the noise stops after sitting at idle for a couple minutes. I tracked it down to the part in the center of the following picture:



When I stick my hand next to it, I feel air blowing out the sides of the "lid", and the noise subsides when I push down on the top. I took a quick video to show this and the noise:

Any ideas what the problem might be, and is it safe to drive the car in the meantime?
