Default 6.0 intake noise

So i was getting gravel today and the guy asked if i had a cracked intercooler boot from the noise coming from intake. I checked them and they seem fine, possible they have a pin hole. Ive been reading that it could be a push rod so now im freaking out cause i spent all my money haveing headstuds and a new turbo put on. Any help would be great!!
Thanks

if its not popping through the intake id rule out a valve train issue. So it sounds like a howl?

usually with a bent pushrod/broken rocker arm it wont run right and can pop like a back fire through the intake.
