What is this sound? Ford says it the Turbo waste gate but that sounds way to excessive to be that...

Low RPM easy on gas any speed. Happened a lot running south a few weeks ago... Then does it here and there on the freeway

Truck has 11k on it.

If the car isn't running sluggish then it's normal. If you have any hesitation you probably have a boost leak.

I have never heard that sound from my truck. I would change the dash to include the turbo boost gauge (instead of the trans temp for example) and see if the sound is coming when it drops boost. Cause it sounds like a waste gate from Fast and the Furious.

No way would I accept that as normal. Might have to go to a different dealer.

I don't have that sound; is it all the time? would push up the dealer chain if it happens a lot; I have a much louder "SWOOSH" sound then another 17 raptor I have been in but mine drives normal and just keeping an eye on things
