Air intake for more induction noise but less BOV noise?

I’m not sure if this warrants a separate thread on itself but after spending some time browsing some previous threads I couldn’t find an answer. MODs, please merge into an existing thread if appropriate.

I’m keen on an after market Air Intake. From what I’ve hear on online videos and feedback, I love the extra induction noise it produces when on throttle, but I’m not a fan of the Boy Racer “pssht” BOV noise when coming off throttle. At the risk of oversimplifying this as a newbie to car mods, is there any air intake that is able to turn down the blow off valve noise and turn up the induction noises? Surely you can make a few adjustments to achieve the same outcome? At the very least, a noise dampening mechanism placed over or around the BOV?

Thanks in advance.

None that I can think of. If you switch to open cone style intakes in order to increase the sound of the turbo induction, you're going to wind up with BOV sounds as well since you have 1 of 2 choices with the BOV's. You can either vent them to atmosphere which makes the PSSS sound even more audible, or vent to the intake. When you switch away from enclosed intakes, you're going to increase the sound of both.
