If you after the noise test to ensure you are Track "legal", then I would suggest being careful with what the results tell you.

Tracks use different methods for measuring noise levels. The one I used that then turned out to be different to a lot of tracks was, Noise meter at 1.5meters measuring the engine at 4000rpm.

Indeed - though I think it depends how close to the acceptable limits you are. And agreed - you need to know the methodology at each track (eg 50cm from exhaust, 75% max revs is Bedford I believe).
