Why does my Peugeot 405 seem faster, as well as more noisy?

I have an N-reg Peugeot 405 TD and for the past week the car has got a lot quicker, but this has come with a noise during boost. What would you say it was?

Maybe the air filter has disintegrated, so it's breathing better but more noisily.
