Modding a forge BOV Adapter?

I was wondering if anyone had ever considered modifying their Froge BOV Spacer for change the sound. There are six little holes that vent the air and my idea is to thread 3 or more of these holes to spin the air as it exits and possibly change the noise. Anyone ever try it?

Feel free to try it, you could always fill the holes back in if you didn't like it.

I havent gotten around to it yet...
chakraj I'm trying to get like a whistling/spinning sound. The duck noise is because people but duck calls on the bov and the air makes it as if you were blowing into it
