Achieving The Pneumatics Bshoooo

So one thing has been perplexing me for a while now and I figured I may as well open it up to the community here to find answers.

Some teams have pneumatics that make a beautiful "bshooo" sound when fired. Assuming it was simply a specific solenoid I went around at champs and asked some questions. As in any great mystery the noise could not be replicated. Several teams who made the noise had different solenoids and really couldn't explain why it happened.

Does your robot make this glorious noise? If so what is the secret? I will not sleep until this is resolved.

The magnificent solenoid call can be heard in the video below between 4 and 8 seconds in, as well as various other times.
