Default Vararam setup and Noise

I have had alot of cold air and ram air setups over the years, including the volant setup I had on my GMC Canyon. It made a pretty big difference on my truck, but the increase in noise and vibration made me go back to stock. The vararam I had on my C5 sounded like stock. Would it be like the C5 or louder?

Hard to imagine the VR sounding like a supercharger. I've had a loud centrifugal and roots and there's no comparison. Then again, the sound of my headers probably muffles any sound.
