Flutter is created from boost hitting the blades while it's spinning. Think of a fan turned on and you blowing into it. The DV+ does this when you let off the pedal and the boost tries escape, it's now going through one hole, so some is bound to go back. That's why it's not as loud as your normal flutter, but loud enough to hear while in the car.

EDIT: See second page. I asserted the wrong flutter.
