Buddy, It is indeed a recirculating valve, if you want it sound a bit louder you could fit an induction kit or remove the resonator box leading to the panel filter.

It is fairly easy to do probaly takes around an hourish, i done it on mine and it is cool!
The resonator is put in place to quiten induction noise, it is a plasic box(basicaly)which sits in the wing it takes the air from above the headlight, once you remove this the air is taken mainly from the duct beneath the indicator(orange wedge).
Remove o/s front wheel
Remove wheel arch liner, the clips break easy so be careful, you can buy similar ones in halfords.
you can now see it, remove brace that goes between the body and bumper.
The box is secured by 2 bolts one inside the engine bay and one which is a bit more awkward to get at, it is located to the front of the box behind the bumper.
Remove the bolt in the engine bay and take off the feed from above the headlight.
Remove the bolt from the inner wing and wiggle it out, thats it!
Now replace the brace that secures the bumper and refit arch liner, making sure that it is watertight.
Refit road wheel
Sorted!
You must make sure that no water can be sucked into the panel filter or it could spell doom! or boom!
worth doing imho
Regards
Rob
