How loud are the rollers supposed to be?

I adjusted my roller rockers yesterday becuse one started to get louder after I adjusted them they were all loud. But when I test drove the car there seemed to be more power and throttle response. How loud are this things supposed to be. I don't have a camera so I cound show you the sound.

About this loud.

Actually RRs are noisier than stockers. Just the nature of the beast.

You didn't state whether you have a solid lifter or hydraulic cam.
Solid lifters do make some noise, but the people next to you shouldn't be able to hear them!!!

This may sound stupid, but if it's loud enough for people in other vehicels to hear, are you sure you don't have a header/exhuast leak?
