Very arbitrary without a decimal meter and legitimate science, now that Ive made this question as complicated as possible, what do yall's adjusted valves sounds like and is the sound prevalent even when accelerating and/or at higher RPMs?

That's pretty loose. I think you will like .002 and .004, or .003 and .005 better.
