I have the stock intake and occasionally can hear a fairly pronounced intake whistle under certain acceleration. No rattles though. I've got the Torque app and can monitor boost. Nothing wonky is going on. It shows expected boost of 9 to 11 psi depending on gear, density altitude, load, rpm, etc.

I have a MPE and it does the same... Pretty sure it's normal.
