I have a track day at Silverstone on Saturday 17th December and the dB limits are;

105dB static and 102dB on a drive by.

My car is a clio 172 Cup with K&N Indiction kit, decat and powerflow stainless exhaust (2 small silencers), is it likely to be too loud?

If there is anyone in or around Bournemouth who could help me measure the noise of the car that would be great. I dont want to drive all the way to Silverstone only to not be allwoed on track!

Thanks in advance

There is an app for smart phones but I don't know how accurate it is!

Try Triton Motorsport on Hurn industrial estate. They build rally cars etc so should have test equipment to ensure the cars are suitable for purpose.

We have a meter in Fareham so it is quite likely other motorsport companies in your area will also have one.

We have professional noise kit at work for health and safety testing in the factory.... we've found that the iPhone app is astonishingly accurate alongside it!!
