Should anyone feel the need to buy one, Lidl will be selling Sound Level Meters next Sunday 2 Aug. They’ll be £9.99 and measure between 30 to 130 dBA, with two sampling speeds. I won’t be in a rush to get one :lol .
You can download one on your phone or tablet for free ?
As for the loud exhausts... i think a large part of the problem is the awful ones that manufacturers are putting on as stock. 90% of my decision of which end can I buy is based on the way it looks. Not sounds.
I'd be more than happy to have an Akra (or equivalent aftermarket can) that was no louder than stock just for the look.
With all this Euro BS getting worse each yeah the stock exhaust are getting seriously laughable. The worst that spring to mind in the 2017+ GSXR 1000. A lovely bike that looks like someone had spray painted a kitchen bin and stuck it to the side. Its that bad that even my local Suzuki dealership do a deal where they throw in an aftermarket can when you buy a brand new one, because they know nobody likes it ?♂️?♂️

Agreed. Im not anti slip on at all, i tried the app and set it up as close as i could with axle stands and my aftermarket can with the baffle in was the same at idle, maybe a couple of db at revs but it was in the garage anyway, sounds are different to everyone and whats unbearable for some doesnt even register for others. People just need to think about where they are and have a little consideration and adjust how they are riding accordingly.
