I have a 2006 Volvo S60 2.5T. I love how the motor is turbocharged, you can hear it pretty well when you first start up the motor and it goes to high idle. How come I dont ever hear the turbo whine when I am driving and accelerating. I dont mean the waste gate sound with the loud burst of air, just the classic turbo whine. Its an automatic tranny too if that counts for anything. Just curious on the answer.
 
the sound is still there but amongst the road and wind noise, not to mention the noise of the higher revving engine at higher speeds, the radio, other traffic, the sound is essentially drowned out by the rest. i think not being able to hear the turbo is a good thing. my own opinion. i wish the turbos on my S4 were quieter.

Because the turbo is likely a very mild application, which means it won't be under intense pressure even under heavy acceleration. The turbo is simply not working hard enough to emit a loud enough noise for you to hear in your sound-deadened Volvo.
