I hate whiny cars. Plus, it is a giveaway that you are FI. I like the look of shock when my stock-looking car suddenly shows them my license plate.

Okay, but this thread is asking "which sounds more intimidating?"

The superchargers any louder inside the car, while under throttle, than the turbos? I have never been inside of a supercharged car. . . EVER!

It depends on which supercharger and which turbo, as all are not capable of the same power/loudness.

If you take a very large turbo, vs a very powerful supercharger, while IN the car under high boost, you will probably find that the Turbo is louder.

If you take a smaller supercharger vs a smaller turbo, you'll probably find that the blower is louder.

Not exactly sure why the sound difference. But seems to be the case in all the video's of boosted cars, or ones I see in person, or ride in.

Probably because of the same reason the Superchargers are louder on idle, and the Turbos are generally more louder under boost (in the car).

I personally like the sound of the turbpo set ups better than S/C's. I watched a bunch of the vids, and the turbo sounds so much better than the S/C by far!!

Yeah, if superchargers were louder under boost, I would like them more. Nothing better than seeing everyones head turn as they hear your jet car screaming down the road!

If your talking about the vid I put up of the Black LS1 SS with the F1 unit, then yes he is a member here, but I can't remember what his name is.

That flutter sound is the air going back through the compressor .. not enough pressure to open the BOV

Both sound cool, but superchargers always seem to turn more heads..
