Depends...mine sounds kinda like a jet...lol

the older less efficient ones are louder..vortechs are like dead silent.

Mine is loud as hell at idle and when I boost its kinda like a high pitches turbo sound but its mostly drowned out by exhaust

The bypass valve makes cool noises too.

Heres a vid of my car.

Just cruisin light throttle my truck chills at about 10lbs of vacuum, as you open the throttle to about 3/4s, you can watch it climb to about 5psi boost, but when you really crack into it, its an instant 15

Justin, me and you gotta line up when I get my truck back.. You remember my old Cobra right??
