The screw probably changes how much pressure makes it go off, and probably won't change the sound too much, but I'm not positive.

turn it to the left/loosen the nut. it won't make much of a difference in noise, that's more the size and shape of the outlet that the boost is traveling through, but you will be able to hear it more often. when you turn up the boost though, it will get louder, assuming you can hear it over your engine and exhaust!

you need to crank up the boost to make it louder, FYI the ss bov starts to leak at around 15psi, i found that out after i bought it I should have gone with the greddy type R.
