Default I was having the same thing; replaced my BPV's with 710N's last night and the sound is gone!

Care runs and idles smoother too! If in doubt, check them with a vacuum tester. I thought mine might be ok because the sound wasn't that loud, but one doesn't really hold at all. I spent $65 with tax and half an hour of my time; both well spent!
