Default Hearing the turbo at very low psi?

Its pretty weird i think, not sure if its normal or not, but i doubt it is because it does not really make sense, i shouldn't be able to hear my turbo at 0-5 psi right when im in a higer gear going at a slow speed and giving gas i hear my turbo and its usually around 0-5ish psi. Any advice? Normal? Symptoms of a Bad n75 (hope it is ), due to a boost leak? Thanks in advance.

That's because your turbo is the size of a beach ball and sucks small animals and children into it..

OP, it's normal. Especially if you have removed part/all of the stock air box. I can hear mine just about all the time. As long as it isn't making any horrifying dentist drill type noises you're fine.
