loud tapping boost solenoid,Whats the reason for this?

Since having the car mapped i have a really loud tapping noise coming from the boost solenoid?

It seems to get louder as i accelerate,and when i turn the ignition off it tapps for about 10 seconds

Any idea why this is happening?

Cheers
Dannytwo

mine does this too! andy forrest suggested mounting the solenoid on an l shaped bracket to take the spring out of it! avcr solenoids are just noisy sometimes he said!
