Why is my 2017 EX-T 6SPD turbo so quiet?

[Ritchey92]

Just grabbed the car today and I love it, one thing I noticed is that the turbo is so damn quiet and I miss hearing the sound, was wondering if anyone knows of anything I can do to help me hear the turbo spooling outside of getting a new one.

Install a bigger turbo

The 1.5 turbo engine is inherently quiet, but you could start with an aftermarket intake system, then get a good downpipe.

I have a 2016 EX-T Sedan, and mine is not quiet around 5-6k RPM. Drop it in low and floor it up a hill, it's quite noisy.

Install an intake, aftermarket exhaust, and a blow off valve! The Civic is an econobox (a really nice one), and the masses do want a quiet car.

I'm thinking the first mod im gonna get is a blow off valve, i saw a nice one posted on here i just need to make sure it fits the 2017. Not sure if they're making exhausts yet for this model but I need to check and im gonna look into a intake, I'd want a nice one.

Thanks for the replies all.

The BOV is cool, although the only change in sound will be a louder occasional "TSHHH" "TSHHH".

It's a 1.5l engine. Did you expect v8 Hellcat sounds?
But if you start adding all this accessories then you run the risk of sounding like a ricer which so many older civics sound like already.
Just rev it out to above 4k rpm and you'll be fine

Nope the engine noise is fine, I love the sound of it but I'm talking about the turbo. The turbo in my old saab was way louder with like 5 less pounds of boost. Not really upset was just curious why it's so quiet. Could it also be because I'm still breaking it in? Only 85 miles
