Sounds like your valves are set to full open all the time, because with them closed it is pretty quiet/normal in sound. The easiest way to check if the valves are working properly and everything is hooked up is to look under the car and press either the A or B button on the remote and manually open or close them. Without vacuum applied the natural state is closed, with vacuum applied the valves open. If you have full vacuum applied all the time (such as not being hooked up correctly) the valves would be open all the time. Sounds like an incorrect install to me from what you've described.
