K&M Filter with BOV sound?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok9q91q7lMQ

here is a video of my car with the K&N filter and after i give it some gas and let go you can here what sounds like a BOV. Im not sure if this is normal or if i didnt close the box all the way. If anyone has this filter can you here this too?

I have the same drop-in filter, and I hear it as well. I also heard that sound with the OE filter in.

Well, if you look at the title of that video, it says that the car has a Vent to ATMOSPHERE BOV, so that's always going to make a lot more noise than the factory recirculation valve used by Mitsu with the Ralliart and Evo.
