Unusaul singing noise coming from engine!

2006 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6
Car: Vauxhall Zafira
Year: 2006
Variant: 1.6
Categories: Engine & Drivetrain
Have a problem with a zafira. Unusaul singing noise coming from engine bay area when started up. Noise continues few seconds after switching off. Anyways after some investigating found that when I lifted the dip stick the noise stopped but found that air being sucked down the dipstick tube at a massive rate. Then checked the throttle body and found it was practically closed!! No air flow! Anyone got any ideas? Thinking throttle body or perhaps airflow meter?
