Is This Noise Normal For a New A&A Supercharger?

I had this brand new A&A Supercharger installed last week and when I picked it up it wasn't this noisy. What do you guys think?

It sounds like it's rubbing on something or the Input shaft bearing gave out.

That's not normal, take it back before something breaks. JMO

I can't see where it is rubbing against anything. Sent the video to Josh at A&A and he said it sounds normal to him. But I'm Taking it back over to Mike Norris this week and have him listen to it.

Mine isn't silent but it sure doesn't sound like that.

Years ago I had a shaft drive Vortech on my daughters car and it sounded similar. Sent it back for inspection and was told it's normal. I wasn't much of a believer.

That is not normal, I'd definitely take it back before something breaks.

Make sure they didn't forget to put oil in it.

Well I took it to Mike Norris today and he said "it is borderline abnormal" and definitely louder than when it left the shop.suggested I contact Josh again to see if there is a fix for it................
