90dB @ Laguna Seca
I was at a private track event today at Laguna Seca. Only about 40 cars. 5 were 991 GT3s. We all got meatballed for sound in the first session. I was in 5th at about 5500rpm and got a 94.9. By the end of the day, 6 sessions, 3 of the 5 got their 3 strikes. I only got the one. Unfortunately, the only way to make sound is to shift in to 6th gear right after turn 5 and keep the rpms below 4000. It's painful going up the hill. Miatas can pass you. You almost don't even need to brake for the next corner.
As a point of reference, staying in the proper 3rd gear hits 102dB.

Just like the pit lane button on the RS the 3's should all have a Laguna Seca "mute" button for after turn 5!
Wonder what the Sharkwerks guys are doing? Bananas in the tailpipes?

Yeah I drove there last month. I mounted the Cargraphics "Quiet" tailpipes but they didn't help enough, still got meatballed. I think the only way to pass would be turnup pipes + supertrapps.

I was told (so no idea if this is true) that they are only allowed to hold a certain number of events per year at an unlimited dB level so all other events have to comply with local noise requirement.
