Question Which one is louder?

Between Cummins, Powerstroke, and Duramax, which is the loudest and which is the quietest "stock" in years 2004, 2006, and 2008?

I would think so too, but we have a 2005 powerstroke and too me its pretty loud, stock. And i've heard some stock cummins on youtube that sound very quiet.

yea but were the ones you heard the 08s bc my mom has an 08 and it sounds like a kitty cat
the 04 cummins are prolly the loudest because they dont have as much epa stuff... but ive heard a few loud power strokes

any power stroke I ever heard is wicked loud. as far as engine noise. The newest I heard was an 06 and the engine noise is much louder than my 04. when the 3rd gens came out they tok themselves out of the loud engine contest and left it to the powerstokes

Yea, the loudest by far is going to be the powerstroke. It's all in the injection event. The 6.0L does not feature common rail injection, which means they can't have a pilot injection to quiet the engine down like the duramax and cummins of that year span.
