Default supercharger questions need insight

ok I currently have a d1sc that is pretty damn loud, my question is the people with the A&A systems on their corvettes or camaros and those of who you have the "quieter" p1sc or d1sc...how much quieter are they than the regular d1sc like I have? ive never heard one in person and this is going towards a great cause. My father recently just turned 64 years old and he says he feels like hes 30 so as a surprise I thought about giving him my d1sc and aster bracket and just order the intercoolers and piping for him until he made a comment several days ago about how much he hates my d1sc because of the noise. Hes a simplistic old guy who doesn't want to hack the hood up or get a new one which i know leaves me with either A&A the quieter procharger or the edelbrock. I would really appreciate if any of you could post of some videos so you can help me help out my vietnam vet father, hes always given a lot up so I thought it was time to give something back. Thank you in advance, I'm looking to do something in the next couple of days so I would appreciate any insight.

I'm about to throw my F1A out the window cause I can no longer stand the noise. I used to love the whine but now I'm old lol. Got to hear a D1SC-H and man is that thing silent. That will be the next thing on my wish list to get.

It's not for me I'm buying the quietest system for my father because he doesn't like how loud my d1sc is. It's a surprise gift for him do I'm just wanting some advice from those of you who have heard some. I almost bought the quieter one but couldn't justify the price. How much quieter is it?

It's very quiet. If you put a couple of washers on the end of a screwdriver and spin them, thats what it sounds like.

Thank you for the insight, since I got my d1 I was always curious but never imagined it was that substantial
