Re: Noise levels enforced at Silverstone.

You blokes are living in cloud cuckoo land, we have to comply with 95db here in Australia, two of the circuits that I race my Cobra at have a well worn path between my garage and the stewards office !

As I pass the noise meter I have to back right off, still you can usefully check instruments / pick your nose etc etc during that quite moment.

On a more serious note the hassles with the noise meter are the reason for the rather oversized silencers fitted to my car, we have had the engine on a bench Dyno and the results (noise) are good, hard to tell untill it is the car again but the intake noise is almost more that the exhaust
