Chris James said:I'm a bit baffled by this as I have the exact same turbo and when I am going for it during intervals then it sounds like jumbo taking off!
The wife has commented on its noise when I was outside in a detached garage and our house is double glazed.

I agree it get noisier the harder you push, but i dont really do that...more just plod along trying to re-create a normal ride for me which is a steady pace.
Surely you must really have to push on to make it noisy....i've never found mine noisy I set mine up in the living room and the wife and i watch tv..it doesnt effect our ability to hear the tv at all.
