My exhaust is roughly a loud as a couple of Concordes on take off but I am not sure exactly how loud. Does anyone have a sound metter device that I can borrow to find out?

And is there 'too loud' for tunnel runs? And where do I find out about tunnel runs?

A fellow Lotus bod who 'ate my dust' said "That thing is mental mate! Crackles like thunder! I still cant get over the sound and loudness!" hehe

There are apps to measure sound levels.

Yes but all are limited by the phone tech and limits. I need a 'proper' sound meter.

It will not be as loud as some of the cars that already go on the odd tunnel run. I'd only worry about DB level if you're planning on going to a track day, and then you need to know how they will measure it.
