Hello petunia.Loud noises are caused with the flapping of the skin - a bit like a balloon when the end is stretched and the air flows through fast. I managed to cure this altogether by using a stoma plug which is made of a foam substance that lets the air out whilst preventing the skin from flapping. It also has a filter which stops the smell - a double advantage. Obviously these stoma plugs work much better for people like me who irrigate and don't have continuous output but I cannot see why they, or something like them,  couldn't be adapted to work with a bag as well.Just a thought!
