I think we are not using the right terminology, an internal wastegate and an external wastgate can potentially make the same amount of noise.

If you have an external wastegate and its dumptube is recirculated into your exhaust the noise will not be present.

If you`re crazy like me and like open dumptubes that dump exhaust under the oilpan, you will hear it and it is quite loud as soon as the car reaches full boost. Under normal driving circumstances the car is either seeing very little boost or no boost so it will not be any louder than a regular car.

If you do a WOT pull it will sound like an angry Mack truck
