I'm not asking if i could see whine.

Someone told me that on certain superchargers, you can't feel the whine but on some you can. Something about pitch or B****?

A whine is a sound with high pitch, so usually the frequency is too high too feel. You could maybe feel a lower resonant frequency and it would feel like a slight buzz. You'd probably have to be holding onto something or touching the dash.

I'm laughing so hard that i"m still in my chair and composed....

maybe I should change the title to Supercharger Whine instead of "What is Whine like when mommy said to drive slowly on the way home from the photoshoot while everyone slingshot past me, including L27-powered and 2.84 geared Bonnies"
