Default Ecoboost sucking sound inside the cab?

I have a question for the rest of you ecoboost owners. Mine has sucking sound from the right front side of the cab under part throttle acceleration. I don't remember this brand new as I started to notice it at about 1000miles. doesnt mean it wasnt there, I just never paid attention until then. I can't recreate it in the driveway, only on the move. It is bugging me and I have for the last 4000 miles just told myself it must be normal.

My turbo "sounds" seem to come from the right side of the cab as well. As I accumulate miles the sound seems to become more pronounced, but not bothersome. If I don't feel like listening to it, I simply turn on the stereo.

I'm guessing you're hearing the wastegates bleed off boost
