Does my SC sound "normal"?

[redpencil]

Recently acquired a 97 that has the dealer installed CTSC. The SC has approx. 48k miles on it and a big ol' list of maintenance was done earlier this year. In that maintenance the SC belt, fuel hoses, and pulley set (SOS) were replaced. I have never owned a SC'ed car before, only NA or turbo so I do not know if any amount of noise is considered "normal".

Here is a quick video: 1997 CTSC noisy or no?

Performance is wickedly fun and there aren't any drivability issues as far as I can tell. Then again, I've only put around 90 miles on the car since I got it.

Thanks!

That does NOT sound normal, but I took the supercharger off my NSX years ago. Is the oil level in the supercharger ok?

I think it’s related to the oil type. I checked the oil. Seemed low. I added the SC oil I bought from SOS but overfilled it. Drained some out. The noise is much less now. Point being, I ended up exchanging enough oil of the right kind to make a difference.

So I am planning on just siphoning out all the oil and replacing with the SC-specific oil.
