MINI2 - MINI Forum - View Single Post - Basic Question Time: Why does the supercharger whine?

I've been thinking about this some more.

What sort of 'charger does the MCS have? Don't think it will make any difference as they all whine! But i don't know.

Does the 'charger have a clutch which only engages when on full throttle so in effect it's not engaged at at lighter throttle and therefore doesn't whine?
