TN and BB noise level?

How loud is the TN or BB turbo compared to the stock turbo with ats housing? I really don't want a lot of whistle for those long towing trips.

The BB is probably the loudest out of all of them. I've got it in my truck and it sounds like a hair dryer in the cab.

Much louder.. I don't have either of these turbos but I have a custom turbo that's a little larger than both of these and it sounds like a jet taking off on a runway under acceleration. I think the intake you have will make a difference too, I have an AFEII so I think that doesn't help the noise issue. It's kind of annoying on long trips to be honest, but the performance gains are worth it in my opinion.
