Anyone have a cool loud Blow Off Valve Noise?

I have a Turbo XS RFL (also tried good GReddy) on a Dodge Viper with Paxton S/C. It sounds awsome on the Viper, much better that the Vortech BOV that came with the kit. The same BOV is not even close to as loud on my S/C'd Apex. Both S/C's adding about 10-11 PSI of boost.

I think I may need to find a better source for the manifold vac line that connects to the top of the BOV to get the super loud noise. On my Apex I currently tap into the vac line to the sensor on top (chaincase side) of the throttle body.



The exact BOV sounds much louder on the car. On the car I tap into a vac line from the air conditioning system. I have tried cutting the BOV coil spring down and adding the washers to increase coil pressure. Maybe sled clutching somehow effects BOV noise.
 
Engine Displacement vs Volume of Airflow

Viper 8.4-liters
Apex 1-liter

PSI (pressure) and CFM (flow) are at opposite ends of the spectrum in these two applications. Thus, a different decibel-level from the volume of air escaping the BOV horn.
