I have a decibel meter you can borrow if you like, am seeing Donut on saturday so could leave it with him for you.

Def 101db.

The test is done outside clear of walls and and surface that could cause rebound.

The meter is re-calibrated for each test
500mm from outlet and at 45 degrees.

I thought mine was loud, i also have a noise meter (99/100db) but when it was tested only recieved 91db.

The engine will be held at 75% of max POWER not revs.
Done on three occasions


Hope that helps
