When i was driving my car I wondered if my cars tires are (or my car is) rubbish, because sometimes the noise is close to unbearable.
I then installed a DB meter for my cell phone and tested it. 80 db on a pretty beaten up asphalt when driving a bit over 80km/h. Then i thought is this high,very high or just rubbish?
DB values do measure also build quality indeed but there are also cars that arent meant to be quiet.
What about your car? Please post results, i measured it on my center console, ofc my radio was off and i tried to be as silent as possible. Please tell some more detail (surface, speed, tires etc which can affect to the result)
Feel free to post tips and instructions for getting cars quiters (or noisier). Tips for tire brands that are quiet etc..
If i can i would also like to see some comparable results (focus svt, st170) with my car with tire specs.
Ford Focus ST170, Champiro GT 215/45R17, pretty rough asphalt, 80km/h 78-80db and 81-83db on 100km/h
