Stupid question.... Increase blower wine?

I know this is the most noob question ever. I have very little experience with supercharged cars. Does anything increase the blower wine sound/volume? Aftermarket intake? Thanks!

If they made/make it, a cog drive would make it louder for sure.

I'm thinking a Whipple 2.9 would do the trick.

A air intake, from somebody like Roto-Fab, would absolutely give you more whine. If you make the car louder though, it will drown out all blower whine lol.

Blaq, I would not expect that. In fact most of those blowers don't whine much at all. My buddy had a 2012 SS Camaro that he put a 2.9L Whipple on and it definitely didn't whine like crazy. Just a little bit. Probably less than an LSA/LT4. Nothing whines like a Hellcat's blower.

In the LSA the blower was quieter on purpose because it was built for the Caddy. Not sure if the same applies to the LT4.

The Weiand in Mad Max's Falcon XB was pretty obnoxious.

One thing I definitely miss about the Hellcat is definitely blower whine. It had the perfect balance of exhaust note and blower whine.

cut a hole in the firewall, run the actual air intake into the cabin.

WTF man, are you just trying to prove me wrong or something? One was a hood cam, one was INSIDE the car, the third was from inside a completely different car. In each case the blower whine was loud and clearly heard. And it is much louder than our stock 1.7 TVS blowers are. Sheesh man. I'm not trying to argue with you. Nor am I saying you're wrong. But it is obvious that they make a very clear and quite loud whine.

Hey I'm just saying. I didn't watch all the videos I watched most of the first one and it was a hood cam. The rest appeared to be Mustangs. The LT4 cars I've ridden in had good blower whine, just nothing near a Hellcat.
