Hello, I just bought a Outlaw Avalung pack, and wondering about the breathing in the avalungsystem. When I breath normally, the pack sounds both on inhale and exhale and that is a very high sound. Should it do that? If i breath very hard it doesnt sound, but i get dizzy of breathing so much.

I don't know if it was specifically designed to do that, but I would think it is a good thing to constantly be making noise when you're buried in snow and people are trying to figure out where you are.

The sound is just the valve fluttering, very common

This is a fairly common issue with the Avalung, but rest assured that the device is still working properly.
