probly have it in backwards, or u didnt grease it also make sure u dont have it cranked down too tight if your not producing enough boost for it to open, then it wont make any noises

Are you chipped and do you have a CAI?

its really not that audiable on stock boost levels. My brothers passat you cant hear it unless you have the windows down and listen for it. Get it chipped and you will hear it well, and more with a intake

the clatter is normal, you just need to tighten it up until the clatter is gone....
