Dunno what to tell ya, I'm not familiar with weird sounds coming from a BOV, except on a GReddy Type-S. Have you changed anything on the car since you got it?

Do not play with the adjustment screw. It really won't help you, and may do you more harm. Why don't you go into more detail as to the difference in sound before and now? And be specific, like when at boost or vacuum, and so on... Also since no one else suggested it, I say check the vacuum line.
