Default Supercharger noise

Hello
My corvette club sponsors autocross and at the last event, when I heard our top drag racer member going around the cones, his car sounded horrible. It was like a loud grinding/scraping sound coming from the front of his car. Someone else told me that this is a normal. What say you FI people?
Thanks.

PS: I have an 08 Base coupe and may be adding either sc or nitrous next year. This is a great site for that information.

Definitely not normal. All you should hear is a little whistle from the centri or whine from a PD, and the BOV letting off boost when letting off the gas.

Yep, my Procharger definitely rattles but it makes it a lot more fun to drive.
