Default Intake sound

OK guys, I give up...
I've been searching this forum for the past 2 hours and still haven't figured out which intake to buy. Every one LOVES their intake, and they all claim theirs is the best, but I guess it really depends on what you want.

As far as performance, I don't expect much...
All I really care for is sound, I don't want it to be too aggressive.

So basically, my question is, which intake has more of a whistle sound?

and it would be really helpful if someone could tell me the difference in sound between the Nismo, Injen and the JWT

the CAI's make a swooosh suction noise when you blip the throttle...
then you can it to high RPM it gets louder... then when you WOT its explosive...

Not too long ago this was a performance forum not a what sounds cool? forum. That said, consider intake design, quality of materials, long, short, cold or warm. Then make your choice.

Yes, Pop Charger only. I listened to it again and it kind of sounded like I had a blow off valve.

I can't hear any whistle at all from the pop charger in my ZedR. Only if u add exhaust or test pipes then the noise will become aggressive.

Injen is probably the worst CAI. It has lost power on many cars. Especially if you have a plenum. Should have researched that one first. Here is the most recent Injen losing power post.

"I wont post my numbers BUT let me say my Injen CAI is gonna be used for target practice with my fathers 50cal Barret M82A1A SASR Sniper rifle......"
