That's kind of a silly thing to argue about. I'd imagine that the filter with the least air flow restriction would be the loudest, however i don't think it's going to be noticeable.

Just pluck the silencer out and all the panel filters ought to sound the same.
Why are you guys arguing about this?!

cause some say it would be because of a filters inability to clean, or because of the design of the filter, either foam, paper, etc.

its a dumb debate, im just curious

I tried for the longest while tonight to get mine to talk... Alas, no dice. I also have the OEM filter. So I guess that's a safe bet if you are looking for a quiet filter.



Seriously though man, that's like asking which MAF sensor is the loudest...

Obviously MAF sensors don't make noise... That was my point. I defy you to change filters and notice a sound difference. The sound you hear is a product of intake shape, not the filter! Maybe you can pioneer the first intake "whistle tip." That should be nice and loud.
