The schematic on the site I linked to before shows that the noise reduction circuitry is totally bypassed unless the gate is engaged. It shouldn't sound audibly different if it isn't firing. The gate fires faster than 1/100th of a second and replaces the gap with sound sampled from adjacent waveforms. There's absolutely no way it could have any sort of affect on the overall sound other than a tiny pop if the calibration isn't right. If you are hearing something continuous or longer than a hundredth of a second, it's probably because some component in the unit is failing.
The Burwen unit isn't terribly effective, but it is totally clean.
See ya
