They were super loud also, so maybe the turbo isn't going to quieten things too much. That said I think the were 2.65 litres, putting out about 800-900hp (if the claims were correct) and completely different technology so probably can't draw too many conclusions.
Anyway from the responses in the small sample above, it doesn't seem as though too many people are concerned by a drop in db's.
