    Hours/ miles?

    Pull the valve cover and inspect cam and followers for wear. While you’re in there check and set the overhead.

    It is most likely noisy for a reason.

    . These Cummins have a hose that is below the intake it is about 6 inches long and curved about 1 inch in diameter. I had one that blew and the air bounces off the engine and sounds like a rod knocking. Once the truck reached top gear the noise subsided. Sounds almost identical to your problem. Good Luck.
