weird noise at about 6k rpm, am I paranoid?

Just wondering if any of you have this same experience with your 6 speeds. Seems like every time I get up to about 6000rpm I hear this noise from the engine. It is hard to explain but it doesn't sound like anything is wrong just a noise I never heard before in a car but then again I never had a rotary engine before. Just curios if anyone else noticed this?
Thanks!

Thanks for the help all that answered everything I needed to know. I had no idea mazda went that dynamic in their intake system. And like I said this is my first rotory so any different kind of noise I hear is new to me Your knowledge of the 8 is unmatchable!
