if your turbo is not 100% or pretty much screwed...will the dump valve still make a sound?

For starters diesels don't have dump valves as they have no throttle thus have no inlet restriction, so it would never work anyway.
(only the exception of those with a throttle valve for EGR purposes).
Turbos fail in many ways: Some seize, some have blades chip or break off, some have leaky wastegates, some have leaky oil seals.
Usual symptoms are one of or a combination of the following; noisy (jet engine, or screeching), loss of boost/low boost (indicated by a guage), exhaust smoke, or excessive amounts oil found in exhast outlet or inlet pipework.

For a DV to work on a diesel it needs a controlled vacuum source (usually from the brake booster vac pump) via an electrical solenoid opened by a "throttle" switch. There is no natural vacuum signal to open it at closed "throttle"!
