Default Vortech: how loud? Audio files?

I saw one post fly by today stating that the Vortech supercharger is always audible as a whine / whistle. How loud is it? Too loud to lower the windows? Would I have to get new speakers to drown it out?

Audio / movie files & links would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Okay, those are useful for a reading on maximum volume. How about just cruising along? Is the dentist drill sound something that you have to deal with constantly at any rpms?

Thanks,
Bob
