it probably does resonate off their windows tbh, mine does anyway. the kitchen window ( at the back of the house) rattles when my car is idling on the drive out front

dunno about the limit though, as long as your not revving the tits off it and its just at idle i wouldn't have thought they could do alot. its not exactly antisocial behaviour to have a car running outside your house it is?

The limit is supposed to be at 3000rpm (or there abouts) you should be able to hear the horn.
Dont know whether thats under load or not. Was talking to my MOT's and he said its a bit vague.

My neighbour cant complain at me cos he has a GT40 lol.

Ever thought ever ?, it might be noisy and doing as he says ?
You can be prosecuted for using a car in anti social way, even if it's electric and therefore NO noise, maybe the efforts of the immature idiots (some of whom are posting) might be better spent speaking to the neighbour, to see if a compromise can be reached.

at last, a sensible reply, one of my neighbours had a quiet word with me as I used to be up quite early to go to work and it was waking them, at the time I used to reverse the car into the garage, so the sound really boomed, started to drive it in forward and nothing was ever mentioned again, no point upsetting people of you dont need to as there may come a time that you might need something from them

iam sure its 98dbs as a few year ago when i had my cozzy my grump bastard next door neighbour tried to get a asbo on me for noise pollution.
the car only had a magnex on with 3 silencers in the system and was canny loud but not at idle. if its between 7am and 11 pm u can be as loud as you like i suppose but inbetween 11pm and 7am think it has to be quieter than 98db.
that was what the council told me.
we measure how loud the car was pulling off the drive which is a steep bank and was only something like 89dbs.
