Thinking about it, audible sound requires energy to exist, so if you could somehow convert all the power of the engine, including sound, to rotational power, you might be suprised what you get. All that gas-generated energy being wasted just to play music to your ears...

You're right, nothing about the turbo exhaust that gets your blood boiling. But that turbo whine, well, that's a different story.
