Diesel crackle

This may be a dumb question.. I am a fairly new diesel owner (2001 F-350 63,000 miles). Ive noticed more of a crackle noise under light acceleration or around 1500 rpm. I have added more hp lately also. Should I be concerned? It sounds good at idle and during good acceleration. Mabey I just need to drive someone elses around to see if it is normal. Thanks
