I think airtonics has one on his sunfire (I might be wrong). Do a search for the video he made, sounds pretty nice to me.

With a rubber mallet they tap on top of the valve down about 3 or 4 millimeters. I would think they sound the same. The reason they do it so you dont loose boost at higher boost levels. It increases the spring tension on the diaphragm. As far as the sound it sound like when you unplug an airtool from an airline.
