I just got back from a trip to Belgium where I took this little clip with my phone. It's a shame that there's no way to experience this sound without actually being there. I love F1! 2011 Belgian Grand Prix start.mp4 - YouTube

Loudest thing I've ever heard was my then 2yr old boy screaming his lungs out. I have permanent hearing damage from that.

|  | Registered User | | | | I'd love to see F1. I've been to Indcar a few times but it seems to me the F1 are louder. I still love the pressure wave Top Fuel dragsters produce though. It's not the loudest, but it feels AWESOME |

Never been to a F1 show, but the distance does bad things to the experience. At least that's what I've heard. And the physics back that up.
Absolutely the loudest I've experienced was standing in the press area during a Top Fuel final run, about 10 or so meters from the left line "vehicle". The burn out zone was about 5 meters away, but since they did the burn outs separately, it wasn't that bad. The mild nitro shower however, was.
One could say that the sound can really be felt as well as heard after that  .
Regards

In the mean time my loudest to date was either a King's X concert where the bass was making my teeth rattle, Badlands' Jake E Lee with 2 full Marshall stacks dimed, or being in a generator room with 4X 750KW diesel gensets running at the same time.

You gotta have been there to get it.

That seems freakishly loud! The reaction time those driver's have even at the start when they begin trying to over-take each other is astonishing! |

| | | | CART (real indycars) were pretty loud back in the late 90's early 2000's, turbocharged 1000hp engines on superspeedways were sweet, had the chance to see a minard F1 car at long beach a few year ago and it was pretty loud, but the loudest noise I have ever heard was THUNDER striking a tower not far from where I used to live.

It has made me desire one of these for my wife's van and our other vehicles...for fun and when some bonehead pulls up next to you with BASSBOY BOOM on so loud your head hurts: QTP » Electric Exhaust Cutouts

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2011 Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado | | | are F1 cars really louder than TF Dragsters? I don't think so, but I've never been to a Formula race before, so I wouldn't know. I always just thought Drag Racing was the loudest of all the motorsports...

| | | | There's nothing louder than when the lead singer gets feedback, while you are standing right in front of on of the ear level 2x10 PA speakers.
