One of our loudest cars was Vic Sias' 240Z--his brakes squealed and almost
pegged the meter. :) He's fixed them and the sound level is just fine.
Sensitive neighbors have the final say, which is one of the reasons we lost
Golden Gate Fields for 10 years. We're now back, but can't use our PA
system.

The RS stuff is weighted funny. It doesn't give accurate readings in
reference to a neighbor who is unhappy. Plus, we've done it years ago and
had a driver lift as he passed the meter. Funny thing is that a Jeep loaded
with audio stuff generated the highest reading.

Or get a Radio Shack sound meter. Here the state fairgrounds require sound
levels of 95dbA at 100 feet as an absolute max, and that's what we use, with
a sound meter.

My guess would be that it is somewhat subjective. If it "sounds loud" you
may want to adjust accordingly. This being a first time event at the site,
err on the side of quiet. Insert common sense.
