Question volant air filter and oil breather

I have read alot of stuff on oil breathers and how people keep removing them. I called volant and they said the sound that is produced is the pressure from the supercharger releasing after I shut down the engine. They said I could add a breather or not it did not make a difference. I am concerned about pressure build up in the system with closing down the breathing tube from the valve cover.

The sound when you shut off the engine is actually the vacuum leaking out? whatever its called....... there is negative pressure in there at idle and most of the time.

That is what I thought but do I have to do anything about it or can I leave it alone. Will the breather fix it?
