Noise meter - where to stick it ?
Discussion
So I've just had a spanking new zorst fitted which is probably louder than the old one and before I book up for the next track day I thought it might be a good idea to check it's noise level. I've purchased a noise meter and I've searched for where to hold it and at what revs etc.. but can't find anything on the subject.
Any help much appreciated.

Half a metre seems to be what the BaT site suggests, looking at the circuits like Goodwood, Coombe and Rockingham who all have static limits

Where did you get your meter? I need to get a car tested for exactly the same reason.
Thanks.
One of the suppliers I use in work do them, £21.10 plus a couple of quid P&P.Where did you get your meter? I need to get a car tested for exactly the same reason.

You'd need an account with them and minimum order is £250 so if you wanted one, mail me and I'll ad one to my next order. I order weekly so no prob in getting one.
2DOGS,
Great, I've sent you a private mail. Good luck with getting yours within the limit. As people have mentioned the unit should be held at 45deg and anywhere between 50-100cm away.
With my race car I actually found the noise reduced when it got into a higher rev range. Experiment with holding it at different levels to find the quitest level.
