Interesting point tad,


Im a Audiologist so have more then a passing interest in this area. The inside of a mini acts just like any speaker box. Mine resonates with very loud low frequency sound, such as when a truck goes by. If you feel you are not hearing as well after driving/being in your car then you have a temporary threshold shift in your hearing acuity. In laymans terms that means the noise is too loud an prolonged exposure will lead to irreversible noise induced hearing loss. Earplugs are a cheap and easy solution.

The iPhone app is not ideal, its hard to calibrate properly in real life situations and has a upper limit which is easily reached. Plus where you hold the phone will influence the readings.


Don't get me started on the gunsons carbalancers!!!

Cheers, Steve


Just a tip Steve , listen to your dad, i'm guessing he knows what he's talking about ,
fair chance he's been there , done that ! Can't beat experience , eh ! :wink:
And don't think for a minute that the constabulary won't knock you off for noise if they get the chance . :!:

I know the app's not ideal, but I decided after posting on here that I should do a new test with the app. Just for a before and after on the effect of the FatMat. Then it dawned on me - I can't do that until I get a dash in it. :oops: I'm using 'Dashboard' for a speedo... I've got a calibrated speedo ready to go in, just need the dash to hold it in. :oops: I'll try and remember to do it when I (eventually manage to tie down a few old mates and get them to help me make it and) get it in. :wink:

And, just to confirm the FatMat was the way to go... My 2 year old always asks for the Mini now. Before, she usually preferred the 4WD. :)
