It could be one of many things, the big guns should reply pretty fast, does it make the sound when standing still idling?

So the noise only happens when you accelerate and when you take your foot off the pedal you hear the noise?(if its the case its most likely the DV). Can you post a pic of the blue thing?

Lol I'm sure Grant is on the right track. It probably has a blow off valve fitted and that's what your hearing.
BTW I have a spare rear seat if your interested.

Start the car, take it out of gear and rev it while parked, and see if it makes that sound
