<DIV>John: Many years ago the Aero-Guidance Society put a 98 db limit in place.
We set up a test area and required any "new" plane to be tested, that included
prop, engine, or fuel changes to any airframe. Over the years we found that 96
db was very achievable wit "out of the box" equipment, so about 3 years ago,
that became our standard. We set it up as self policing and have the db meter
and log book kept in the frequency control board. Very few are tested today, but
any member has the right to require anyone else to perform a noise check. This
only happens when someone shows up with a louder than normal ship.</DIV>
<DIV>So far, it has worked for us.</DIV>
