I've driven a few supercharged V8s and this is one of the quietest chargers. Whine is nice, but too much whine takes away from the refinement. An A8, Q7, etc. owner would be less likely to appreciate it. Like exhaust, everyone has their preference in loudness but we personally tend to like the sleepers and thus appreciate the quietness.
i prefer superchargers silienced. kind of kills the v8 sounds,

@Elberoth, might've helped if you'd at least googled the Audi R15 ;) Oops!

Sound is a form of energy. These days quiet systems prove to use that energy better. The Audi R-10, R-15 are good examples.

yea but they sound like absolute crap because they make no noise at all. it makes the racing really boring to watch.
