I haven't had a chance to do that! she is not very loud! she sleeps eats and you know.

I replaced the 9v battery and drove to work, the meter it's very tricky and I'm slowly finding how it works, even a small change on pavement the numbers increase, even if I talk or sneeze, small bumps on the road, a truck passing by also make the numbers go up or just changing the position of the meter or touching it as well.

Also the position and orientation makes a difference, pointing at the windshield the #s increase a little bit. It's not fair to record MAX readings for reference, so I'm posting actual readings as I drive on the highway...


at 75mph reads... 74db to 78db a small bump or changes in surface bumps and reads... 80db for 1/2 a second

at 65mph reads... 61db to 68db
ps... GPS speed in MPH

All this with the center of the car open (no center console) and no front passenger's seat either and the front left wheel well untreated.

I would like to try this in my Dad's Mercedes...


A couple of nights ago I put some Mat and Ensolite to the center console, I didn't spend a lot of time here, I just wanted to reinforce the plastic panels a little bit, and prevent rattling, I'm also concern on getting back in place this piece, so I didn't put any Mat or Ensolite on the edges... here are the pictures:

You're welcome for the use of the meter.

I'll have to try the highway readings like you did just for comparison and yes, I realize this is all just for fun. However, I'm not taking out my passenger seat or the center console!
