Full boost produces "screamin' banshee" noise--normal?

My '94 9KCSE 2.3L FPT has been running well (knock on wood)--just turned 103K miles. Whenever I hammer on the gas, say, in 3rd going up a hill, in 5th accelerating hard at highway speeds, or whenever the boost hits the red. . . . I hear this "screaming banshee" noise coming from the engine bay. Is this my blowoff valve dumping extra boost? Does anyone else experience this? I installed an updated 20psi Bosch BOV last year and all silicone vac lines.
Everything seems normal--no erratic boost--just curious if this is common, or if I should worry about tracking down the noise. It's been doing it ever since I installed that valve. . . . .
thanks, all.
