If it's plumbed back into the exhaust, there's no additional noise. You can't have a turbo without a wastegate. There would be no way to keep from overboosting.
I substituted a bleeder valve for a wastegate, to eliminate the noise. It was continually dumping a tiny amount of pressure, to be sure, but wouldn't allow the pressure to go any higher than what I had it set for.

I didn't know about plumbing a wastegate into the exhaust...no one thought of that in the '80's! That might be an acceptable compromise.
