It wouldn't be incredibly audible at lower load and small transitions in engine load, but it definitely is enough to cause reversion back through the maf if it was not opening up properly.
My brother had an ebay type s bov that had a diaphragm tear and it produced the exact same thing you are describing here.
Swapped a stock 1G DSM bov on there and it has worked perfectly ever since, no change to the tune, etc.
