Do blow off valves need to be cleaned on S/C car?

The flutter means the air is not coming out of the supercharger properly. The noise you hear is the piston in the bpv opening and closing. It is very hard on the valve since instead of it just closing on throttle then opening when off throttle once, it is doing that like a 1000 times more. You will eventually wear your valve out.

Also, the air needs to get out of the system or it tries to push itself back through the supercharger blades, basically trying to force it to slow down but it cant since it is belt driven so it causes unwanted stress on the bearings.
