Okay DR, turbo school is now in session.



Okay, the above shows the basic system. The blue section is pressurized under boost. Now when you get off the throttle, the exhuast stops pushing the turbine blades. So the turbine wheel slows, along with the compressor wheel. Now, without some way to relieve that pressure, the pressuized air (blue) hits the compressor section like a shockwave, causing wear and tear to the the compressor wheel and the bearings.

So, what happens is that when you get off the gas, there is the BOV (to be technically accurate, it's a diverter valve, stock mode is an internally vented diverter valve, aftermarket or Mopar plate are externally vented diverter valves) which send that pressure elsewhere.
That is the noise you here. Psshh

The above illusrtation courtesy of howstuffworks.com Great place.

Well, kinda See, BOV and diverter valve (confusingly enough, also referred to by some PVO guys as an anti-surge valve) are the differnt names for the same item. Not the wastegate, it does not make the noise. Just the BOV.
