Are Magna Charger, Inc. supercharger systems noisy?
A. What any individual considers to be an acceptable noise level is very difficult to establish. During typical driving conditions, the engine is under boost around 5% of the time, which means the remaining 95% of the time the engine is under vacuum, allowing for better fuel economy and a quieter ride. In addition, the helix-angled rotors, along with specially designed inlet and outlet port geometry, also reduce pressure variations resulting in a smooth discharge flow and a lower level of noise during operation. The bottom line is that you will be able to hear the supercharger, but most people consider the noise level not to be excessive.
