    No, but the corner worker with the sound meter called my bike in after the first session and the track manager came over to have a little talk with me.

    I then babied it through turn 4 and 5 in the next session which was hard to do on a 50 something horsepowered bike and an uphill right and left without it bogging down like crazy.

    Then when I went after lunch, I was on the Kawi and figured the stock exhaust would be fine. The manager had to come over again and talk to me.

    He was nice about it, and I explained it was stock. Their level is 95 dbs which seems low to me. I was also on a very visible bike in a group that probably only had 9 people in it. Might not have helped that I was playing with a guy on a ktm 450 all day, so both of our bikes were probably being read as we went by the sound meter.

    I got flagged, stupid SC Project slip on. Was good to go for the next session after switching back to stock.

    Very interested in which app you are using on the iPhone.

    I don't have it but my boss has it on his iPhone and uses it as a rough measuring device when needed.

    SPL Meter on the App Store

    Thanks for the reply. I've been using db Meter. In comparing the the two, db Meter seems to register ~ 4db higher than SPL. The interesting thing is db Meter has a calibration element that allows you to adjust the sensitivity up or down. I've tuned it to match SPL and will see how things work between the two.

    SPL, on the other hand, offers a calibrated mic to create a more accurate system. Will have to look into that.

    Cheers,
