have you considered the Forge BPV with an intake? The combo of those two make a good difference in sound

You can't really tune for a bov, there's no parameter that you can change that will fix metered air being vented. However if you relocate the maf after the bov and get a tune you won't have any issues, the tune is needed to adjust the maf to its new location.

Or u could just recirculate a bov and not have to tune at all. But then it would be quieter than a normal bov.
