Mark Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I know these are Yankee MV's, but it just goes to show you what noise is produced in these vehicles we drive about in, thats why I use ear defenders. http://chppm-www.apgea.army.mil/hcp/NoiseLevels.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 My WC 21 is quiter than the WC 52 I had. Guess its because the cab sits higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 A few years ago Withams sold noise level meters. I bought one, occasionally useful to get a db(A) reading to see if something is as noisey as you thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapier rob Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Is this why americans are always shouting in war films :-D We had a noise assesment done on our work trucks a while back, and even though they have nee nahs, and whoo whoo's they were still quieter than a few wartime MV's I've been in, especially if they had genuine WW2 transmission whines and rumbles....

abn deuce Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Clive I wonder if you might do a some reading on the vehicles that some of the members on that side of the pond have ? the link was interesting but only applied to latest equipment .So how will the older 40's -70's compare :computerterror: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 For quite a few years now the maximum noise allowed in a tractor cab has been 90dba. Do remember it is a logarithmic scale not ambient. Empirically frequencies can also make a hell of a difference to perceived noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 When I used to go and feed the sows and take a db meter in with me I use to record readings of around 128/9 db :schocked: Wish I had of kept that meter :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rambo1969 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 MY diesel landy is quite loud when driving it, thats why I fitted a 6 speaker 500 watt sounds system in it, elvis sounds brilliant through it!.

ashley Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 And bite to! Slightly off topic........ i once dared a school friend(?) to feed the school sow by hand, i forgot to feed her at the usual time (mid-dayish) :whistle: and when he trid to feed her she was not at all happy and the kid nearly lost his hand luckily he chickened out after one sow nut, dropped the feed and ran litrally for his life Ashley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abn deuce Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 My wife who helped her Father raise pigs on a commercial scale when she was growing up , confirmes that the pigs were very time sensitive and would get used to a feeding schedule , and easily aggressive and vocal when not fed accordingly.

Tony B Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Was steaming through a sunken valley on Exmoor with a bunch on horseback, went round a corner to meet a huge pig in the middle of the track. Never seen so many people off so many horses in one place at one time. :-D I suppose the metal ones could have the same effect :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I have more pig stories that really should be kept for another night in the Bolero mess tent :whistle: :whistle: And I will add one of my claim to fames is a pig related one. I will add it to that section a minute. Back on topic - this is an interesting thought, as I know that my tranmission makes hell of a noise around 23 mph and then goes as soon as you reach 24 mph + here is a meter for sale on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DIGITAL-DAWE-D-1405E-DECIBEL-DB-SOUND-LEVEL-METER_W0QQitem Z260184802327QQihZ016QQcategoryZ1504QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Trouble is noise is very subjective. As you get older the high frequency end of hearing deteriorates. What I find so annoying is the low frequency bass, some idiot with a 40 foot woofer causing pain at 1/2 a mile. On the plus side the old vehicles talk to you, and being aware of the sound and movement of the vehicle has been shown to increase safety because the driver is more aware of their surroundings.
