bypass valve help

Can anyone help i have had a bypass valve fitted and after the install i now get a humming sound at low revs or on the motorway.
the boost is 16.3psi no fault codes and its not the usual cai whistle that you get. the valve has been calibrated and was tested before install.
I hope you guys can help.

was it a stock replacement or uprated? can you lift the arm of the bypass, is it smooth to do so?
