Whats the standing noise of the 997 GT3

[Bund]

I cant remember what it was at BH a few weeks ago, but 98 rings a bell. Can anyone confirm?

thanks

If you are asking as you want to take it on a track - I know its less than 101 as there was one at Bedford last weekend and thats the limit there.

Not sure if that helps you!

With the monitor at (I think) 1m and 45 degrees @ 4500rpm, it is a fraction under 100dba.

Can't remeber who but I was told on here that a GT3 would be fine at Castle Coombe where I'm meant to be going next week - but with out car at all I recon I'll be the quiestest!

Went to brands hatch to get the car tested back in May

at 5000 revs it was 96.5db
with the sports button on it was 96.8db

at 8000 revs with the sports button reading was 98db
This was with the car stationary of course

Did snetterton last week, no sports button, and 103db @ 6000 so maybe they are all different or testing equipment! I was suprised as geting too near max of 105 at most places now!!!!!

Hi

Umm that test is meant to be done at HALF a metre, and 45 degrees to the exhaust and level with the ground....NOT one metre...

All the best Brett

but funny enough there was another chap there in a 997 gt3 - but he didn't get black flagged

It's wierd isnt it... All circuits use different methods and all days give different readings. It's a load of boll** really, in most cases the people who complain moved into the area after the race track was built and then complained about noise. If you don't like it, don't buy a house near a racing track, DUH!

Well I guess we have to be careful Bund, don't want to get caught out on our day!

only .3dbwith sports on or off - thought would be more as its a really noticable change
