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 do indeed have the MPE exhaust with the stock intake. I think you are onto something with the air whistling past the wastegate.
