That reminds me, Noise

[bugsy]

I noticed at the BBWF and Griff Growl they are offering a prize for the loudest car.
Has anybody got a decibel meter or can get their hands on one because I will find a prize for the loudest S

[bridgdav]

I can't beleive it Bugsy, I am watching the vid on PH TV at the moment playing in the background....

I do indeed have a decibel meter... Bought for work a month ago for this very reason... I'll bring it along..

Interesting to have a list of their records...!

Mine reached IIRC 129 at P/Fest last year... But that was revving it..!

Podie had quite high results in his too..!

Ought to.. She mae quite a noise when warmed up..

Looking hopeful on the rebuild; last I heard all was progressing at a good pace.

Not likely I'll be able to get there though, bloody work.. :itrked: Reminds me though, better buy some raffle tickets anyway..

[V8Smith]

If you are not going to be there and want tickets, yes better get a cheque and your address to me very soon.

Regards

Mike

sounds interesting, I`ll have a go at that!!!!

[bugsy]

One thing about the venue, with the LMR on the go we won't be told off for making too much noise.

We have a cracking prize for the noisiest S, which Mike will announce later.

[bridgdav]

You guys best come up with some rules....!

Is it certain rev's.. Or anything goes..

Who's the adjudicator..? (judge)

I'll try the equipment this week and let you know a target..

Dave

[V8Smith]

I see your point Dave, but really just think we should let the owner do their thing and see which one registers the highest Db.

Yep I agree, the wedge boys were reving up to about 3k IIRC but looking more for resonation than noise

[bridgdav]

I think I'll put the meter underneath the car by the downpipes as thats where most noise comes from... I bet there are others the same..!

Dave

[doddze]

wedge boys were measuring at the tail pipes at what looked like a fixed RPM I guess about 4 - 4500...

[doddze]

At BBWF the following criteria was used.....

Quoting Reverend

"4500 rpm at 1/2 meter (45 degrees to exhaust).

Throttle was always constant - no blipping or pop's and bangs allowed (as they are much longer).

Tried to make it a fair comparision.

Interestingly - only 1 car would have been able to get on a tract day (93 db) all others were 99db or more"

[V8Smith]

Sounds fair, the only problem I can see on the 'fair' issue, is that as they are Tivs most rev counters are going to be out..........? I know mine is?

Gotta have some rules though so agree this is the fairest and its only a bit of fun anyway, although there is a very good prize for the winner......?

Later

Mike

[bridgdav]

I've remembered the meter....! first job done..

There is a limit of 130db so I think the 4-4500rpm is the best measure....

I'll check mine tonight and see.....!

Derek asked me to pack a spare meter as well
