A system and method for regulating pressure inside a vehicle (“cabin pressure”) with reduced noise is disclosed. The system can include a forward gate and an aft gate that can be moved from a closed position to an open position to release cabin pressure in a controlled manner. The forward gate and the aft gate can comprise one or more flow disruptors. A first portion of the flow disruptors can be fixed and a second portion can be moveable between a retracted position and a deployed in position. In the retracted position the one or more flow disruptors can reduce broadband noise through the system by smoothing air flow therethrough. In the second position, the one or more flow disruptors can create boundary layer turbulence. The boundary layer turbulence can prevent, or delay, flow separation reducing tonal noises therethrough. In this manner, flow efficiency can be increased and noise reduced.
