You didn't see the disapproving looks you got from my neighbours
Seriously though, what noise level would be considered appropriate, and/or tolerable for a residential situation, rather than just a track?
I'm aware that whilst being "too loud" on a track can get you pulled in, or prevented from going out at all, I think we should also bear in mind keeping good diplomatic relations with the people we live by.
Something I've been wondering about is whether residential situations would tolerate a louder exhaust than a track situation. On a track there are many cars creating noise, whereas on a single road there's just you. Any thoughts?
