Don't be a ricer, leave the sound effects to those that worship Fast and the Furious
Besides the whoosh sound is "measured air" you're venting into the atmosphere. Your engine will run rich every time you shift, because the AFRs are screwed up.
But yes part of me agrees, it does sound cool. IMO: atmospheric BOVs get annoying after a couple of weeks; my car phone was amplifying the sh it out of it.
