Well the layout of the setup and the specs on the exhaust and all other components (and driving condition) have influence on how pronounced turbo noise will be.
Was the 4000 rpm under load? You may allready know this but you could be at a sustained 7000rpm and the turbos will build no boost unless the engine is under a load.

But I would guess that under load they will make a lot more noise, it also helps if you have full exhaust on the car instead of open DPs

You can actually hear the turbo spooled once you floor it... This is totally unlike some Supra dyno videos I've seen lately..... You can hear it spool at like 6000rpm

I know exactly what you're talking about when turbo whine comes out the exhaust and reflects off of walls... But you have sidepipes facing the walls? Holy S*** that must sound AWESOME.

Now when the cutouts are open (pointed out to the sides), you can really hear the whistle!
