hi. does anybody local to me have a noise meter i could borrow. I need to replace my k&n filters but if my cars to noisy allready I'll have to make an air box. thanks m.
Unless it's calibrated be aware that most cheap "noise meters" are only good for relative measurements e.g. measure with your standard exhaust can, switch it to a new can and re-measure to see if it's higher or lower. Keeping a noise meter properly calibrated isn't cheap....
you can rent them from book a track i think it is
north yorks is a big place, i have one but don't know how near i am in keighley?
Maplins sell them for not a lot of money (£20ish) can't vouch for the accuracy but their stuff's normally quite good.
I have a maplins one that was 3db out @ 100db when tested against a SVA calibrated one.
Strangly enogh also just outside Keighley.

my maplin one has settings for all sorts and i'm sure dba is there.
(although it did cost twice what yours cost and hasn't been used yet!)
