Sound Policy
This sound policy will be strictly enforced for this event. No exceptions can be made to this policy for this event.
This sound policy is in place to protect our access to event sites. Loud cars aren’t usually appreciated by the general public. The competitor shall carry sole responsibility for ensuring their vehicle complies with these Sound Control Standards and Procedures. Vehicle sound emission is not a constant factor that can be trimmed to barely legal (in the manner of engine displacement or vehicle weight.) Sound emissions may vary significantly from morning to afternoon, and day to day, so the competitor is advised to target any vehicle sound emission level “adjustments” to well under the limit, to allow for variations in conditions. The intent of the following rules is to truly make our events quieter by limiting the sound level produced by individual vehicles. Competitors are expected to use mufflers as the primary method for sound reduction.
STANDARD and MEASUREMENT
--Maximum limit of 96 dB, with the meter set to “A” weighting, “Slow” Response.
--The microphone will be mounted on a tripod, 3-4 feet above ground level at the measuring point 50 ft from the edge of the course lane, using a coned gate as a reference.
--The microphone will be positioned perpendicular to the vehicle’s direction of travel.
--Measurement will be taken at a point on course where the car can reasonably be expected to be at full throttle, under load, and at high RPM.
--Sound control operator will record readings over 90dBA and may at the operators discretion record or check off those under 90dBA for reference later.

Re: OFFICIAL THREAD*** Solo in the Park (Chilhowee)
With sound being strictly enforced at this event can someone please let me know what db I have been hitting since the resonator install? I've not heard anything negative since the first event in it without the resonator...

Re: OFFICIAL THREAD*** Solo in the Park (Chilhowee)
I will review my notes tonight. When did you remove the resonator?
I'm certain you were "pretty safe" at Pellissippi July 20th. I personally notified everyone who was close at that one.
I have not gotten a report from Smokies, I'm not certain they had the manpower to monitor sound at that (sound relaxed) event.
Dewitt was "sound chief designee" for that one if they had enough bodies to man sound.

I would bet money your car won't pass. I was working the crossover at the last event and there was no sound during the second run group but your car and Sean McDonald's miata had me wishing I had ear plugs in.Josh_McCRX wrote:With sound being strictly enforced at this event can someone please let me know what db I have been hitting since the resonator install?

Re: OFFICIAL THREAD*** Solo in the Park (Chilhowee)
It is true that we did not have enough warm bodies July 20th to monitor the second run group.
I was thinking he was in the first run group.
I will check my notes tonight.

Re: OFFICIAL THREAD*** Solo in the Park (Chilhowee)
I've had a resonator the past two events. I didn't have one the first event with the new engine. My car reads lower than Marcus's Miata according to two events ago. The muffler turns down... so that helps, but I am just concerned about this event. Before the resonator I think I hit 102 but I have not been told a number since I have had a resonator.
