Hand-held sound meters

[cheese]

Hey I was talking to a guy at a show recently and they have some quite nice hand held sound meters.

0563.8155 TESTO 815 SOUND LEVEL METER NZ $ 624 – 00



0563.8165 TESTO 816 SOUND LEVEL INSTRUMENT NZ $ 1 264 – 00


Not too sure if anyone here is keen on them, but they seem pretty accurate.

my work cellphone has a built-in dB meter, would be interesting to see how accurate it is.

Well as of next year you will need to meter bikes for events.

[Buddy L]

I wouldn't worry cheese your bike will only make a shit load of noise at high RMP.
So you will be sweet as, well under the limit.

What is the db limit?

[The Lone Rider]

What is the db limit?

100 dbSPL for a bike, but police and WOF places are just as likely to go by subjective opinion then actually test your bike.

[dammad1]

Sound testing can be very subjective. It needs to be done in a controlled area but it never is. How can you say something is to loud when testing in an open enviroment with all sorts of background noise and etc.

This agurment with noise limits has been going on for a long time with cars and I used to get all sorts of hassles with the cops over my rotaries.

i have one on my mobile phone and my bike reads 112db at @6k and at the bike shop it reads @115bd at same rpm so its fairly accurate

[B0000M]

isnt every 3db double the loudness? (here we go)

its fairly easy to tell when a bike is too loud, use your ears!, heres an example

bike 1 goes past, sounds normal
bike 2 goes past sounds normal
bike 3 goes past sounds normal
bike 4 goes past, sounds fucken loud.
bike 5 goes past sounds normal

result: send bike 4 packing until fixed.

(bike 4 was probably a 4 stroke)
