The noise you hear during acceleration is the air being pulled in by the turbo. There is no way to get around it...it is a large volume of air moving through a filter, it will sound like that. I quiet enjoy that sound to be honest, and I think most of the guys here do a well. If you don't like it, that is fine too. We all have our own idea of what sounds good, and what doesn't. I don't like loud exhausts myself, and always try to make the car nice and quiet....just a personal thing I guess.
The BOV in that particular video is the Tial Q 50mm BOV. It is the quietest and most common on the market. Again though, a large volume of air escaping thorough a "small" opening, it will make noise. I think it is another one of those noises that most guys do like to hear, and again, there will always be a few that don't.
