Plase help me identify this rattle.

I posted this in the small questions thread with no reply.

*EDIT* This noise started after I did my rear main seal. I had to remove the down pipe/ exhaust to remove the transmission. The Exhaust manifold bolts are all tight, as well as turbo to manifold. I'm stumped, but its definitely the exhaust side. The heat shields are removed to eliminate the possibilities.

I changed the ehaust manifold gasket and the noise is still present. Anyone? Does this sound more like wastegate chatter, or a sticky valve or exhaust leak?
Here is another video from today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tlcJ7VrJEk

Hopefully I can figure out what this is. Thanks in advance!
