I noticed that on my second trip to the track in my car back in Feb that the SC was a bit louder than the 1st time that I went to the track and the only difference was that I removed the plastic piece under the hood. My son was at the start line and he said that he could hear it as I went down the track.

just my .55

To increase compressor whine, simply change the intake. AMG has designed their intake to be very quiet on purpose. The intake geometry and material are of great influence. Listen to the RENNtech air-box - it adds TONS of whine!

VIDEO

I started my E55 up with no intake tubes or airbox and gave it a rev... holy crap - and that wasn't even under load. I didn't have the ***** to drive it on the street with no filters tho...

I have a Supercharged (aftermarket) Infiniti G35 and when I changed the factory airbox to a tube and cone style, it increased the whine 10 fold. Here is a video with sound for your perusal...

YOUTUBE

About a week after my G35 mod, I was driving under an overpass where a pedestrian was walking. As I went under, I hit the throttle and the guy jumped 4 feet in the air. I'm sure he filled his pants... Where as with the factory airbox, it was barely audible.

I just go for a drive with my wife. The whine I hear sh*ts all over an airbox mod. I'm thinking of putting some tape over it to quieten it down...

"slow down youre going too fast"
"I hate your new exhaust now its too loud"
"I want you to put that star thing back on the bonnet, it looks classier"
"why did you get a black grill the other one is nice and shiny and looks classier"
"I dont like your new wheels you look like a bogan"
"you lied to me about how much those black things cost (lip spoiler/diffuser)"
"when are you going to buy me my Audi......"
