Supercharger whine

I am a old guy, grew up in late 70's early 80's. Unlike most I cannot stand the whine a supercharger makes, underpower. I did not like blowers or noisy geardrives back in the day either. Anyone make a supercharger, that is unheard? Just want to hear exhaust notes. Thanks

Vortech has them that R noisy/whine(Straight cut gears) or quiet(W/helical cut gears). They R the centrifical type, not the Roots type U prob R referring to!!!

They make quiet centri blowers like the Vortech sq trim (something like that), which i would imagine are much cheaper than the above link for the roots blower.

Lots easier to quiet down a turbo than it is to quiet down the supercharger.

my vortech SQ S-trim is quiet. if you can stand a high pitched chirp when the cam lopes..... makes kinda a sucking noise. but the power you get from any newer centri blower, or turbo, will trump an old school weiand piece of ####.
