It's not very loud and doesn't have any annoying whistles or squeals like the BOVs most of the kids like...
Here's a good sample:

Here's what it sounds like from outside the car:

I had one for a short while. Very nice sound and fast response. My favorite sound from it has to been when your shifting quickly and the boost pressure forces it closed again!
I traded it for a Greddy Type S because I didn't have the space to adapt it properly or the proper pipe from Apexi to fit between the turbo and TMIC.
Only one downside to it: If your car has a poorly working pcv system, it will stick on you. I got mine for $40 from a guy with a Mustang that thought it was broken. Turns out he was running 20lbs of boost with no crankcase ventilation. Oil built up in the chamber causing the valve to stick open.
So, I dissassembled and thoroughly cleaned it. Being that there is no actual seals, just a brass piston moving inside the housing, I used powedered graphite to lube it. It then worked perfectly!
