I prefer turbos with low pitched, whooshing spool (vs the high-pitched, whiny turbos). There's also the added benefit of being able to reduce the sound with throttle control, which you can't do with unclutched superchargers.
Though I prefer, above all, the sound of silence when an FR-S is sitting in the dealership waiting for an ECU.

Low pitch turbos sound like a frying pan in the engine bay. Just saying. Listen to Dynosty's turbo if you want proof.

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.

Roots s/c whines for me.

my last car was turbo charged and i remember it like it was yesterday the first time i drove it after the install. the first time you hear the BOV from inside the car its like an out of body experience, lol.

nix · 11-16-2012, 08:53 AM

Neither. No vented BOVs or WGs either.

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?

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 like the sound of the turbo spool, the BOV...

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.

Really want to see what you guys prefer. Need more votes!
