From inside the car I can't hear squat, from outside though you can hear VTEC on the dyno, this is for the GSR. On my Civic, you couldn't hear VTEC at all.

I mostly hear my loud *** exhaust, air rushing thru the charge pipes, and my RA1 tires gripping the road.

If I listen carefully, I can barely hear VTEC engage.

I couldn't really hear it engage even when I was N/A. SOHC Vtec is only on the intake valves, unlike a B series which will activate vtec on both intake & exhaust

All I can hear in my d16y8 is the fuel gauge dropping when VTEC kicks in
