Does the 1000 whine that much at idle?

[Henry D]

Checked out Sinners vid, and it sounds like a S-trim to me.

[sinner]

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.

[5150 LX]

mine was pretty loud, especially at ~750 RPM's, quieted down considerably above 900 RPM's

[frank woodall]

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,

[sinner]

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

[regattacoupe]

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.

I think sound level has alot more to do with variables like engine combos,power pipes, hood liners ,mileage and so on than it does with individual blowers. You will certainly here a Novi 1000. 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.

Mine is like sinnners at idle but lower pitched. Obviously, I am only running 6psi max. Unlike his though, the second I rev it, its dead silent. Another thing I noticed is sinnner has the same horrible fan noise Ive been wanting to shoot myself over. I imagine putting an electric fan would quiet things down significantly. 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. :)

[89ntrcptr]

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 ;).
