What the video doesn't show is the different settings, it's spring loaded and clicks so you can go from fully closed to fully open or stop at a few points in between so:

0% (fully closed)
30% (first click)
50% (second click)
80% (third click
100% (fully released)

These are rough numbers just to help you visualize it. Each click the sound gets progressively louder and power/flow are barely affected at all but the fully closed position. You won't be driving around at fully closed very often unless you're just cruising slow around town/neighborhood and need to be super stealth. I recommend opening it at least one click for any higher speed driving which is still significantly quieter than fully open.
