What are the decible ratings? My city actually enforces noise levels (they also have a 'smell' ordinance which I hope does not include exhaust).

I used this engine on my son's go kart. It is very loud, but it depends on what kind of muffler you put on it.

These motors will only put out the sound you want them to. By this I mean it truly does all depend on the exhaust. With an expansion chamber and muffler on your bike it should be quiet enuf to ride around the neighborhood. For smell there's not much you can do about that for the fact that two strokes are just naturally smellier due to the fact that the gas and oil are mixed together. As long as you run a good spark plug, 91+ for fuel and high quality two stroke oil you should be fine.

I guess it depends on your vehicle roof line, but I'd wager there is a negative impact on mileage. The included faring is supposed to help reduce noise and drag, but I think it adds a lot to the noise, anything over 30-40 mph I can really hear it with my Subaru.

I've never had a problem with the exhaust, and it doesn't "walk". Yes, it's loud because it's powerful and doing a great job. We've never had a jam, it works great!

I own restaurant - had big problem with rodents - Solved - at night when we leave , we turn it on loud setting - it's very loud and annoying ( has three levels - 1st not audible to humans , 2nd ok noise - high pitch 3; very loud - annoying ) Not sure what's the range - but it's very effective - I have one now at home and one in storage room. I m very happy Loud when turned on loud settings ( for rodents )

I can't tell you the decibel rating, but it is fairly noisy. I am sitting in a bedroom 20 ft away, and it is still fairly loud. If you are concerned about the noise, buy one where the fan is mounted at the end of conduit, hung from the attic rafters. I have a low pitch roof, and did not have enough space to do this. My son has one, and it is very quiet. You can barely hear it. On the plus side, this fan really does a good job of moving air in from the outside. Hope this helps!

The noise level is about on par with the sound of a V8 engine at idle speed. I wouldn't hesitate to use this anytime except on an early Sunday morning in my driveway in an abundance of consideration for my neighbor.

I live in a Chicago and I don't see any improvement in mpg in the city but on my trips to Detroit on the highway I might get 1 or 2 mpg improvement that I can notice. It was worth it regardless, makes the car sound better. Pair it with a decent exhaust system..even a pair of flow masters 40 or super 44 series and you will pretty good. U have this on a 13 2lt range camaro and I get good compliments.

I am not sure about with clean room rating although now I will look it up-it puts of a small amount of combustion smoke especially while getting into full vacuum. after that it lessons and I usually run a small exhaust fan at a window very close. Most of the time I have the vac off and just keep my chamber locked in a vac. Hope this helps-the way clean room sounds though this is prob not the best thing to have in there with out a proper exhaust system. Great unit !

We run this from the back of our 17' cube van but aim the exhaust outside. It is still not a good idea I know, but the terrain we work on occasionally does not allow us to take it down and move it around. In an enclosure it will be loud, hot and of course noxious (read deadly) to anything living. I would not recommend it at all unless properly vented & cooled.

Jet provides decibel ratings for this unit on their webpage. I think the noise produced by this unit will depend of the acoustics in your shop. I own 2 of these units in my shop, they run in a circular motion one on a west wall one on a east wall. Like the other post I agree on low seems to get the job done for my shop too. If you have AC in your shop just make sure the outlet side of this unit does not face the AC unit. I give both my units 4 stars they seem to work great and a 12x24 furnace filter seems to catch most of the dust on the inlet side too before it reaches the secondary filter. Hope this helps!

As I live on a (normally) quiet mountain, I really can't say about the city buses. It can be fairly loud, though. It seems that if you have your windows closed it would be all right for you. But you know, you can always return it if it doesn't do the trick, yes?

Same with my old lady, I haven't been able to try them. Only had one ride and my pipes scraped but I had long softail mufflers on it so went with short shots. Working at sea till end if June but hoping it doesn't bottomOut as we are goin toLaconia pretty much as soon as I get off.

I haven't been pulled over for noise violation yet, but you can definitely hear me coming a few blocks away when I open it up. It's louder than the Flowmasters I replaced on my Grand Prix GXP.

Depends on the size of the area it will have to cover and the extend of the pollutions, but for my 700 sq-ft apartment, this works so well and no noise at all. I bought this after a wildfire where I live. I love this air cleaner. You may need to clean the filter often though for such a case. Good luck.

Not bad, it depends on the environment though. It can easily drown out street traffic and daily use for like an office setting, with possibly the exception for maybe sirens, road construction, or if you're on a noisy subway or something. I usually just turn it up louder depending on the environment. I typically turn it up to about halfway on my iphone so it definitely has a lot of headroom if you want to drown out other noises.

We did not experience too much odor....if there was some, it is completely gone now. The issue with these heaters is the noise. They pop and crackle as they cycle on and off. It must be the sounds of the aluminum elements and vanes expanding and contracting. It would be enough to disrupt sleep if place in a bedroom. We have two, one in a kitchen bay and the other in a back hall, so the creaking isn't too disruptive.

The factory setup is virtually noise free. Put the stock unit back on truck. I will probably put a good filter in the box & leave it alone. Wasted $260.
