Default wanted: not so quiet turbo :-)

I have owned a few turbo charged cars and the MCS turbo is all but completely silent. Does anyone have any advice or mods that are still warranty friendly they would recommend? Would a K&N help with the turbo sound?

I am amazed that the car is so quiet, it sounds more like an N/A (naturally aspirated) car than a turbo.

I know, silly request but one of my favorite things about a turbo car is hearing the turbo itself.

I love the sound blow-off valves make.

no advice on making the turbo louder, and not losing your warranty, though. when the warranty runs out, you could always find a way to drop a bigger turbo in there.
