If the valves are bent, you'd have a nasty miss and probably a mis-fire code if the car runs at all. I don't believe there's a sound associated with it.

A loud bang followed by a car that doesn't run on with really good bent valves.

I bent a valve in my civic racing before. Weird things the car ran fine driving, just idled like a harley. When I removed the head there where no signs of damage, even the head shop I brought the head shop I brought it to said it looked good. When they tested it the story changed. They replaced all of the exhaust valves and one of the guides.
