Loud Turbo when spooling

So i noticed today my turbo was super loud. Doesnt sound like anything wrong but just louder when it spools up. Kinda hard to explain. Im just asking because yesterday it didnt sound that that. Sounds bad *** but is that something i should be concerned about?

Thats exactly why i posted the thread. Wife would kill me if my car took a dump. Took a ton of convincing to get this car and the future of convincing would go out the window if it crapped out on me so soon. So i could be trippin. Thanks all

Are there any other mods in your intake-exhaust tracts or on your engine? Anything at all...when you hear a weird noise, rule of thumb is check your mods first.

Yea I trip out because I used to own a Honda and I crashed from not tightening my lug nuts after a coilover install and I got traumatized after that. It was actually my friend who forgot to tighten it.
