It's hard to measure loudness that way. Many cars seem to be capable of being quiet or loud. Which way do you think they'll be during certification?

- nullc 4y agoThat wouldn't be fatal: if you bring down the typical levels it becomes easier to lower the bannable levels. The noise pollution we experience doesn't just come from the loudest cars at their loudest times-- though that has an outsized effect-- it comes from all but the absolute quietest.
- Johnythree 4y agoIt's simply a matter of the testing specification. Eg testing on a dynometer at full throttle.
