How noisy is the S/C pump?

I do have a whirring sound that is really annoying and gets on my nerves. But I had assumed it was the power steering pump.
When I brought it in to the dealer, they said they removed the supercharger belt to help diagnose the noise, which confused me greatly since I had assumed it was the power steering system.
Now I'm really curious!

Yes, as I said the engine noise drowns it out but it is pretty noticeable with the engine off.
Doesn't sound rough, just audible.
Alan, if you get the whirr with the ignition on but no engine it could be the s/c coolant pump.
There's another pump/fan that aspirates passenger compartment air that some people complain about.

If you want to determine whether the impeller is jammed or not ... open the reservoir cap and check the level ... then turn key to position 2 ... the level should drop slightly with the pump on.
Do the above when the system is stone cold to avoid pushing coolant into the overflow tank when the cap is released.
