The "polarity" markings on non-electrolytic caps indicate the outer foil side of the cap, I believe.

Some people suggest putting this end toward the higher impedance side, IIRC.

It would not at all surprise me to hear a difference if the orientation were reversed. Easiest way to test it would be by wiring the cap to a switch and testing...
