I'm just about to swap my exhaust and I've noticed in work we now have a decibelmeter. How should I go about measuring it? I'd guess it's at a certain distance and perhaps angle and at a certain rev count but I don't know what for any of them.
Any help greatly appreciated. |

I think if it's for a track it's at 6k rpm not sure where to stand though.

As far as I remember it's 1m away at a 45 degree angle using a decibelmeter that is A weighted.
Revs need to be 3/4 of redline. The A weighting of the decibelmeter is important.

the teesside autodrome measurement spec is correct.
The test will be done at 5500 rpm on the SV. Done one for Berlin at Croft and that was the test method, and that was a giggleworthy 97dB (the previous 2 tests were 101 and 104) Whats the setup of your arka?
