with stock boost and stock airbox and foam like blown said they are pretty quiet. Start to pulley down and they get noisy. To get the flow of an aftermarket CAI and still be quiet you can cut a hole in the front of the air box to allow in more air. That is what I did and it picked up noticable SOTP above 4k.
