[Vwdiesel] What does a turbo sound like to the average person?

[Anthony Kimmell]

That's funny.  I took a few "female friends" out in my Cummins powered Dodge
4x4 in the past.  Every time I'd let off the gas to shift and the turbo
spooled down, they'd say: "Sounds like your tire is leaking" or "where the
heck is that airplane at??"    lol
