Engine sound? Normal? Please chime in

Well, since im a new evo owner, and havn't driven in too many evos for any long period of time, gotta question.

Past 4k rpm, there is a noticable change in the engine note. Its like it starts to gurgle more past 4k. To me it almost sounds like the engine is knocking, but perhaps im just paranoid. Is this normal?
