Too much noise of cough-relief valve when coughing

The cough relief valve usually makes the least noise when adjusted weak. This is, however, not the same for each patient and mainly dependent on the airflow produced when coughing. When the patient is complaining about too much noise when coughing, usually because it produces a 'fluttering' sound, a weaker or stronger adjustment could solve the problem.
