Default What SOUNDS better? Turbocharger or Supercharger?

Whats up, just felt like getting a little poll going here for fun. There's always talk about which gives better performance, how about which one sounds the best?? Personally I like the turbo sound, the superchargers I've heard make a screaming sound. Its more of a whistle, like a kazoo. I like the whoooshing BOV sound a turbo makes. Different turbos and supers probably sound different and it probably also depends on the engine and pressure in a turbo but this is just in general. Ex: like twin turbos vs single turbos, different setups etc. Correct me if im wrong please.

Here are some good examples of each
Turbocharger: Twin turbo Toyota Supra http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEaED...eature=related

Here's a civic, I don't like the exhaust sound but the BOV is cool

Supercharger: This is a really loud one, 600 hp mustang cobra http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivGad...eature=related

Here's 2 really good ones for the civic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62fFN...eature=related

Both.

Compound boost ftmfw!1!!!1!one!!!


For the record, there are bypass valves involved with certain supercharger setups which function and sound exactly like BOV's.

I voted turbo. I liked the supercharger sound more (especially on cobras) untill I got my car and took out the silencer to make the turbo louder.
