Wastegate noise (2021, 2.0l)

Macan 2.0l question here, haters can move on!

My 2021 car (UK, RHD) has a noticeable induction noise on medium to hard acceleration and a very noticeable whoosh when coming completely off the throttle while under decent boost that I would associate with a turbo wastegate.

When I was in a loan car, also base Macan, I couldn’t notice the same noises. Obviously the loan car is low miles and mine is 28k miles and is 5 years older but I thought this was odd. Dealership wasn’t giving any opinion.

So, anyone else in a 2.0l car, 2021 facelift, notice a wastegate whoosh in their car? Normal, or something going to let go soon?

Thanks!
