Checked out Sinners vid, and it sounds like a S-trim to me.
hehe...yeah I think most are quieter then mine. My buddy's S trim is still louder though
i just got mine installed and u can hardly even hear it, sounds like the whine of a altenator.
mine was pretty loud, especially at ~750 RPM's, quieted down considerably above 900 RPM's
mines fairly loud. http://www.servematt.com/video/novi2.mov
Mines kind of loud too, but no where near as loud as an S-trim. I dont get it because Ive seen some modular motors around where the blower is soo damn quiet that I cant tell even if theres a blower on the car. Seriously the sound is so quiet an subtle it sounds stock, but you can kinda hear a faint whine. Maybe they are powerdynes Im hearing???
RydeOn, thats the way my car is, i fired it up waiting to hear the whine, but nothing, with the hood closed u cant even tell it has a blower,
man I got screwed....I ran a powerdyne cause I wanted a quite blower then I went to this hoping it be quiet like you guy are talking about...but no
I don't think mine is loud, i think it is just about right. Not near as loud as a V-1. Although I like Harley's, open-header drag cars, sprints, monster trucks, ect ect ect
I may not be a good person to ask. LOL
Probably the V2 SQ they are really quiet and can barely be heard over the exhaust when the hoods down.Quote:

I dont think there near as quiet as Paxton says,at least not the ones I've heard.They arent in the same league as an S-trim as far as sound goes unless you have a unusually loud 1K and a unusually quiet s-trim.The V-1's are loud!..Jim
I know, I was hoping for roots quiet at idle so I could have sleeper status.Quote:

That is the next thing I hope to do on my car..
Thanks for the responses. Personally, I like the whine, and was expecting it with my 2000---ended up being dead nuts quiet though. :)
well i think i may have found out why my blower wasnt making any noise, comes to find out i have a underdrive crank pulley therefore the supercharger is being underdriven also, that also explains why i was only making 1 psi at redline :)
Mine is definitely noticeable below 900 rpms. Whistles like crazy until you rev it then all you here is woooshhhh ;).
