I'm not exactly sure what all you are saying there, but sometimes with some air cleaners you can hear air going through it and other engine noises coming from it. With a stage 1 you have turned it into an open port and you are sitting right on top of it so you will hear things you didn't with the stock.

Try to listen for the different things going on. Remember you are sitting on and engine. You might have a pushrod thats a tad out of adjustment or coming loose.
