Default Lexus IS 350 Blow Off Valve

Hi, so I have a 2008 Lexus IS 350. From what i've heard is that I for sure need to have a turbo or a supercharger in order to get a blow off valve. But is there anyway to get a BOV without a supercharger? I seriously just love that sound and have no care for the actual performance aspect as i recently bought the car and don't have money for a turbo. So is it possible to get that noise when the car shifts gears?

Find the best BOV sound that you can find online and play it every time you are about to shift gears.
Should do the job.
