Turbo Problem? video

Ive noticed a different sound out of my exhaust on spool down. Its coming from the turbo i can tell because the sounds gets slower as the turbo slows down. Its there something wrong with my turbo? The truck runs the same. The video was cut short because the camera ran out of juice.... might have to turn it up to hear it in the last 5 sec of the video.
What do you guys think?

When it grenades you will know They take a long time to spool down but I can hear a little of what you are talking about. How many miles on the turbo and have you checked the shaft end play now that you have become paranoid?

My truck 2003 with original turbo makes the same sound and maybe a little more high pitch. It sound like a low level police siren.

Im not talking about the turbo sound... its hard to hear but the inconsistent sound during the spool down.

Didn't hear anything either, but you are still under warranty if you want a piece of mind.

I heard the sqeaking noise at the end. You can see if there is any lateral movement of the turbines on the intake side by trying to wiggle it with your finger while you have the intake off. If you feel any movement, the bearing are going.

I think I heard it. Almost like the turbo is "touching" something every now and then? But a more gritty/grainy sound than metal on metal?

the turbo center section loses oil pressure/lubrication when the engine has been shut off...you may be hearing a slight resistance because of that..it's amazing how tuned in a person can be to their vehicle after awhile..

if there are no running issues, I wouldn't sweat it..
