Static test has nothing to do with Supercharger. It cant make more noise when you are holding a gas pedal steady at the 3/4 of the maximum RPM. You might as well not have a supercharger, because you are not producing boost.

A turbo on the other hand, acts directly as a resonator or a muffler that quiets down the tone of gases as they exit engine cylinder.
