I've always associated and I'll admit, unfairly so, the sound of Supercharge to be very masculine, beefy. I think it stems from seeing them on muscle cars. Always liked it. I like turbo cars as well but the blow-off valve sound, especially the sequential blow off valves make me instantly think of rice-boi-fast&furious-tunervision folks.
Now that's just an opinion on what comes to mind when I hear the sound. That is not my opinion on turbo and superchargers themselves or the folks who run them. |

I used to have the best of both worlds. My Cobalt SS Supercharged and my turbo Integra. As much as I love the sound of my Integra still, I really miss the Eaton blower whine as well as the twinscrew whine when I had that on there as well.
How could you not love this scream on my old car? [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXJkTV_SeX8"]2K5SS/SC?'s Twinscrew 3rd Gear Pull Outside The Car - YouTube[/ame] |

I prefer the sound of a turbo spooling (especially if there's a nice external wastegate plumbed back into the exhaust) but I prefer the linear feel of a supercharger.

I would love to have a twincharger setup. Like my VW Golf MK6 TSi 160.
It made all sorts of the right noises we car enthusiasts likes. 0-3000rpm = supercharger whines 4000rpm - 6000rpm = turbo whoosh 6000rpm to redline = engine growl Throughout the rev range the exhaust noise just keeps building up and roars, and of course the sound of bypass valve and intake noise comes to play. The transition of the supercharger to turbo is just seamless and the noises it made is just epic. |
