At idle, it sounds like a diesel I guess, but when I'm at about 1700 to 2000 RPMs, not accelerating but just holding it there, it sounds different. Not a tick, not a knock but it almost sounds like a robot chewbacca lol. Its like a soft knock, high pitch, but soft.really hard to explain. This is my first powerstroke, just wondering if this is normal?

Its probably normal, the 6.0s have a very unique sound in the diesel world, and can throw people off. Take a video if you can, but my guess is, that is just the sweet spot with your truck where it throws you off.
