Unhappy Engine noises need help!

Like I had posted before I got my Reman installed and running and I noticed some weird noises. I do not remember them from my old engine. I replaced ALL gaskets, and I ported the wastegate...

Anways here is the page for the videos clicky then right click save target as on the links..

There are a few rattle noises, hums, pinging and other weird sounds that I do not remeber before... Hopefully you guys can help me diagnosis the problems (or tell me that everything is fine, and I am just loosing my mind). You might need to turn the volume up to hear it... its in the background...

The Sonic HSR is just a clip of my exhaust, its straight all the way back with 2.5 RB dp and MP to the FEED Sonic HSR catback...

Really? Damn its only been since October that my engine blew... it I guess I thought it just can alot quite (other than the exhaust).... I guess I might just be smoking crack or just TOO parnoid!

I am just finishing up the coolant issues, and I will see how it sounds now I also retorqued a few bolts/nuts and secured some vacuum lines to be on the safe side... So I will try to post some new ones soon...

The ping sort of sounds alittle more like a rattle maybe, like there might be something loose or something like that....
