Never knew....
There are alot of people out there that want to get a different blow off valve just for the sound of it. I (luckily) am not one of those people. I just put in my intake (Buschur) yesturday and this morning when i drove to work i never knew how loud an intake would make my blow off valve sound. It is deffinitly audiable even with my music up and my windows closed. It's pretty awesome when things start to come togeather how the little things make a world of difference. People if you want a louder blow off valve get an intake.... you'll never imagine how it makes a world of difference.
Yes, I never had an intake like this before either, and wow, I thought I had a leak in my intercooler piping! I can hear it slightly at 5psi and sometimes less than that.....
It's not too loud though, and defintitely wouldn't want one that vents to the atmosphere.

Right now all i have is the stock BOV (this weekend Al is bringing me a Forge RS) but when i added the intake all of a sudden the BOV "woke-up" . It doesn't sound as loud as a aftermarket valve but it is deffinitly audiable. It sounds nice.

i can hear my Type-S bov even when i shift in vac, not even in boost. i love the sound of that faint whistle after the loud woooosh and the turbo sucking in the air when it's spooling up.
