Title: nurburgring noise limits
Post by: turbo boy on July 27, 2011, 06:34:45 PM
Iam finally going to the nurburgring in sept aswell as Hamburg and Amsterdam in my fd for a sexy road trip.:Ladys-man
 I just wanted to know if anyone here had any troubles with noise limit on rotary cars at the ring. Are they strict on this kind of thing?
My car is fairly loud but ive heard louder.

Stopped in a great Ramada Hotel about 45mins up the road for the German GP this weekend if you want the details.

Had trouble with the F1 cars noise bouncing round the stand....God it must have been 140dB in there......

It\'s a public road in theory, is there a sound limit. I honestly wouldn\'t know!

And yes they are strict, they\'ll check you at the gate if they are unsure.

Don\'t know, sorry, it was a package.
Just a 100% great hotel in Bruhl, below Cologne.
Ramada so I suppose not cheap, but the tour companies must be happy with their deal.

Really that\'s :censored: I\'m off there next weekend and I\'ll be at least 102db....

i went 2 years ago when mine was well over 110dB (blown Kakimoto) and they never said a thing.

...having said that i have seen them there everytime i\'ve been with their tester - just try and keep the revs low when you turn up at the barriers and hope for the best if you don\'t have time to change anything.

Phew tested mine last night with a couple of apps got between 92-96db avg between 4-5k rpm, I should be alright.
 
Thanks to the people at FEED for a quiet yet free flowing exhaust!Quiet being a relative term of course, WOT under load still must be well in excess of a hundred :Giggle

This is where we stayed, if you are a group it\'s ideal as it\'s self catering. Alternatively they do single rooms on a b+b basis. Cheap and clean-quite nice apartments too.

Then get yourself to the Cherrybar.;)

The noise tests seem to be "random" and less if you\'re on local plates :(

For staying prices are 45euro b&b down to 35euro if you share room at the Breidscheid track entrance. Great viewing for the leg down to the bridge. See http://www.hotel-an-der-nordschleife.de/hotel/prices.php ( proclaim a vested interest my apartment is next door and available for rent ! )

So you bought one of the flats off Eddy too!

are you on the ground or 1st floor?
Title: nurburgring noise limits
Post by: Competition PZ on August 01, 2011, 02:30:25 PM

sorry misdirected with my "too" comment...
Wasn\'t me you met - Never went through with it all in the end. Was going to take the last one but was on the ground floor and thought better of it.... how\'s it working out for you? worth it? I still think what if... I really wanted the flat on top floor closest to the Hotel.

Anyway, anyone else going to the \'ring i highly reccomend these flats - they\'re huge, great views and well kept.

Competition PZ i\'ll keep you in mind for my next trip over :D

Working out great. Only annoyance has been the addition of the "sound barrier" on the bridge wheich means you cant see them on the bridge from the balcony anymore, but still down the hill and only a minute\'s walk to view all the track.

Just back from 2 week Euro trip and couple of days at \'Ring.

The big SaveTheRing is an issue but hopefully common sense ( and the law ) will get it all back on track :)
( If anyone\'s not already done so go to http://www.savethering.org and show support for the cause )

We all wanted the top flat once Eddy decided to add them to the original plans :)

My garage is now empty (:() so if anyone needs a space to keep a car safe for track use once over there drop me a PM :)

Guess we should take this to another thread if we want to discuss things in case the mods here get upset at going off topic from the noise issue ?

I might be interested, im going to the ring end of sept.
 I tested my fd on a few apps on my bro`s phone. The first reading was 87db, the second was 100 and the last one was 140db! Not really accurate, gonna borrow my dads mates tester. He does loads of track days in his kitcar.

Who was over there weekend gone, as spotted a white FD. Noise testing didnt really occur as long as its not to loud on idle then it will be fine, as mine is about 100db.
Also stopped with Eddy, great guy!

@turbo boy, remember and drop down to the Triergarten (Pistenklauze) and get your SaveTheRing stickers and as many as you can carry for friends :) I brought back one for every car competing in the Scottish Sprint/Hillclimb championships !!
