Nurburgring Noise

Just so you all have advance warning, the present db rating of 130 is dropping to 120 next year.
How do I know that? Got told about the car putting out 130db on drive-by yesterday evening.New owners ruling by all accounts.

[git-r]

120 db is deafeningly loud!! Are you sure??

[tozerman]

That can't be right surely, can it ?

Cheers.....Tony..

Just checked and 120db is like a rock concert or a jet engine, " I SAID LIKE A ROCK CONCERT OR A JET ENGINE"

Cheers.....Tony..

That is according to Wikipedia, so is probably inaccurate.

Unlikely to be a "new owners ruling."

I was told exactly the same thing last year for 127 dB. Did they show you the photograph with the dB reading? I have a copy of mine somewhere.

The noise limit is actually 95 dB static and 140 dB drive by.

"Furthermore, the noise threshold value is not allowed to exceed the level in accordance with the near field measurement method (95 dB [A]) and the maximum sound-power level (140 dB [A]) stipulated by Nürburgring Betriebsgesellschaft mbH, measured when the vehicle is driving past"

"Fahrgeräusche nicht einhalten, sind vom Befahren des Nürburgrings ausgeschlossen. Außerdem dürfen der Lärmgrenzwert gemäß Nahfeldmessmethode (95 dB(A)) sowie der von der Nürburgring Betriebsgesellschaft mbH festgelegte maximale Schallleistungspegel (140 dB(A)), gemessen bei der Vorbeifahrt nicht überschritten werden."

If the "noise police"tell me its the new owners ruling, I tend to believe them.

Some (gullible) people will believe anything. E.g. Hitler built the Nürburgring.

Well I heard he was into his rallying so I guess it would make sense!

As mentioned above, we were told the same thing (apart from your "new owners ruling" nonsense) in June 2013.
