What is causing this?

97 mustang GT 4.6l sohc automatic.

When im coasting this noise starts. If I give it gas and accelerate it will go away. Only happens sometimes during coasting at low rpm.

Update: after market idle air control valve is causing this. Resonance issue which can be solved by using a smaller hose or you can put a zip tie around the idle air control hose, and just pinch it slightly. See attached link

Update Again: cable ties helped, but seem to loosen with multiple drives because of engine bay heat. Removed those and I am attempting a hose clamp instead, if I dont report back it works.
