Assembled it back together, and now I don't hear that sound anymore.

Sorry I was out of town and I didn't check the forum for a while. The flaps looks fine to me. I'm glad your noise is gone that was a strange issue.

I haven't driven the car yet, so I don't know if it's gone for good.
I also don't know what could have helped, but it's not there, while car is idling for 10 minutes, and it was present after nearly 1 minute. So I'll take it for a ride some day, and we will see.
It is hard to tell what could have "fixed" it. I've found throttle body metal gasket was bent a bit, also I've moved flaps with pliers a lot, while filming. Don't know yet. As it is said: serious failure will show up, if there's any.

Howdy..
Any updates on your unconventional and economical fix?

Not yet.

It is raining/snowing non stop, and I don't like to get that car dirty, so waiting for dry weather.
