MG MGA - Noise diagnosis

Since rebuiling my carbs I've noticed a new noise. When I am driving in 2nd or 3rd and let up on the gas after aggressiive acceleration the exhaust note has a noise like "ha rummm pop pop"

The pop pop is not a backfire.

Is this back pressure lifting the vavles?

Is it a bad thing?

How does one fix it.
