I've borrowed a noise meter to test my exahust noise (not that it's much use now, see my broken stud thread)

However I've found that I can yell/scream at 126 db !

Is this a record ?!?

Was that recorded while breaking the stud off the engine block?

Not a record as such.
My friend recorded 122db on a flyby at combe (110 during sound check), and was promptly black flagged. Real shame his car flys round the track.
I would imagine mine is around 120db if not more being a similar spec and the fact it revs to around 8.5 rpm when it's fully prep'd.
What db is a standard F355 as one passed me in the street outside my house the other day and I swear it's about half the volume of my car.

Any chance you can pop round and fire off some expletives at the kids two doors down who spend their lives yelling in their back garden

GrahamJay - you can hire them from bookatrack for 9 notes, and they've been very good about me hanging on to this one longer than expected (until I could get my engine back together !)

Angusfaldo - sure, no problem, my body is available for hire at a reasonable rate

dont know about an individual but the Loudest Scream By A Crowd was on July 5, 1998, at The Party in the Park, Hyde Park, London, UK, a scream by the crowd was measured by Trevor Lewis of C.E.L. Instruments Ltd. at 126.3 dB.
