The difference is that VAV diffusers have a [built-in VAV damper](https://blog.priceindustries.com/how-do-vav-diffusers-work) and can close to a minimum, possibly building up pressure in the system. It is the higher pressure that makes diffusers noisy, and because of this, a method of pressure control should be used in every VAV diffuser system.
