Default Is this normal?

Just fitted my Baileys VTA dump valve myself and taken it for a test run

I've noticed 2 things

1. I've got a huge grin
2. I get an occasional bang

Now I'm not too worried about the first (but the wife might get suspicious ) but is the 2nd normal?

I've checked all the hoses are tight and have not come loose..

Yes, I just want to make sure I'm not damaging anything or I've not put it on wrong or something..

If a quick bang is normal (ask my wife ) then I'm happy
