Disable this:
"The patented SC design eliminates the need for oil lines and punching a hole in the oil pan, thanks to an exclusive oil pump. This pump aerates the oil to create the oil mist lubrication required for the ProCharger’s precision bearings and gears. This oil pump (aeration pump) does not require priming at start-up, and oil changes are required only every 6,000 miles. Additionally, instead of being forced to utilize engine oil or the grease in sealed bearings, SC ProChargers are lubricated with an extremely high quality synthetic oil which is specifically engineered for high speed use, and produces the least frictional heat and parasitic load. The self-contained design also eliminates the heat that is transferred to a supercharger by engine oil in oil-fed applications, and avoids the risk of clogged supercharger oil lines, oil drainage problems, or engine oil leakage"
.. and you do realize I was kidding. aight?

I have noticed that the larger or more open the air filter, the more noticeable the whine, especially under boost conditions.
Personally I wish the whine was a little mellower and not as loud on my vehicle. Of the four I have owned with forced air, I guess the '03 Cobra was the more suttle if you will, even though I had a very large AF1 filter on it.
I have actually begun to dislike the sound my blower makes in the cab, especially during the recent cold snap we have been having. Power is nice, but it does irritate me somewhat. I guess its all in the "ears" of the beholder.

Doesnt even make good sense to not put a positive displacement blower on that big truck.
