quietest car at the fest?

[Byff]

The two Cerb's of myself and Craig were the loudest, both managing 130.3dB (mine did peak at 130.4dB, but TVRBob wouldn't accept that and settled on the average of 130.3), but who's was the quietest?

I thought it was funny when the owner of the cheekychenko made the reading of his go UP when he started to talk.

I think Balmoral's Bentley would be quiet - was it measured?

[slinksport]

That was me..

and it's a Seicento damnit!!!

(off to hide for being to quiet!)

Slinky
107dB

[shadytree]

I think mine was 123db , exactly the same as David Bellamy's Ultima (sorry didn't catch his name)

[shnozz]

mine came in at 128db

Mikes Smart was 108db so it was close at the lower end..

good to meet you BTW Byff

[DustyC]

My standard Griff 500 is a very track friendly 96dB at 3/4 revs

[bigtone]

Twas me, twas me! Bob stood at the back of the car and asked me to rev, I was sat on the limiter at the time - 103db!

Absolutely top top top weekend folks, but bu99er me I ache today - damn 406....

Great to meet all who I spoke to, particularly the 3am crew - hughsie, Slinky & Mrs Slinky (walk of shame man), the Puggits & Rocket. That BBQ was so needed!

Photo's when I get home tonight, had other pressing matters last night, like a shower....

Tony
Focus Diesel.....

never again I tell you

Good meeting you too Shnozz.

The Saturday night was a right laugh.

Got to be Balmoral Green's Bentley. I didn't even hear it until he had almost run me over and Mrs_T suggested I might like to move to one side.

And a Marina hit's 121db

[Podie]

Mine was 127.7 at 2/3rd's of the rev limit... M@H's S1 was 1dB lower....

There were a couple of "stealth Griff's" about though... seemed to be VERY quiet...! (Paul V)

[jimbro1000]

I think mine should qualify as quietest.

Was measured at Brands Hatch on Saturday morning (having just trailered it from PF) at 90dB just before I arrived at the assembly area. Don't think even the shopping trollies that sneaked into the camp site can do better than that

[dai capp]

would love to have mine done properly...

had it done somewhat differently to the photos (device placed around 1m back from the exhaust) and got 119Db, though I suspect as close to the exhausts as you were it would have been significantly higher...

Shame, it would have been good to have a comparison...

Cheers

Sorry Jon, I didnt get around to having the noise meter put on it, but yes, it would have been the quietest, when it kicks down into 2nd gear at 85mph it does make some noise, like someone gagged in the boot trying to scream! (but that's enough about my day job!).

[puggit]

I think the DB9 was the quietest! We had to be careful getting out of our tent in case he was driving past.

When he opened the bonnet to test the decibels I did laugh

Was a shame it didn't growl
