There is no comparison to the sound of an F-1C when compared to a D-1SC. The larger blowers are much louder. Having a filter on there may quiet it slightly, but I think it would be hard to tell at idle. Bob

No doubt, even my F-1A is considerably louder than the D-1SC. My wife thinks it sounds cool, which is a good thing! Bob
