How much turbo whine difference?

I hear a plastic intake tube on a cold air intake kit will dampen the whine compared to an aluminum one. I currently have the AEM with aluminum and would like to take a bit of the howl out of the Super B, is getting an intake with a plastic tube worthwhile or is there really a noticable difference? Thanks y'all
