My understanding is that the sound is caused by the fabric accelerating and whipping through the air, so the sound demonstrates that your technique has some force (mass * acceleration) to it. Which admittedly, is not that impressive for someone whose not a beginner, but I think for beginners it can be helpful way for them to judge their own technique.

V neck TKD uniforms of weight beyond "student weight" do provide a "snap" to them, and they last much longer than student weight dobok. Mooto, Adidas, & Daedo sell white collar stronger than student weight dobok. They may what the OP is looking for. They aren't for collar grabs either. But they do deliver the "snap" also. I recommend my students by them after their initial uniform has seen better days.
My school uses the side-tie Dobok/Gi. We don't use the V-neck.
