In the past there have been a number of discussions talking about noise levels in the cabin for the various Ranger Tug models. Most statements about noise are very subjective and this means one cannot really compare one persons sense of noise level with the next.
With this in mind I propose to measure noise levels in my R25's cabin using an iPhone/iPad application that records/measure noise levels in Decibels. I've been using the iPhone App named Decibel 10th by SkyPaw Co. Ltd. It has close to a 5-star rating at this time. My 1st Mate needed some speech therapy to improve and strengthen her vocal chord. We use this App to measure how well she's doing. Normal conversation noise level needs to be around 70 dB and this App allows her and me to see how well her speaking noise level is progressing.
This gave me the idea for measuring noise levels in the R25's cabin and to compare it with others here.
My method will be to select a location in the cabin such as the middle of the dinette table and measure the dB levels with the engine running at various RPMs with cabin door open and closed. The base line will of course be with the engine not running. 😉
So when I get to the boat next I will perform these measurements and post back here. I'm hoping otherts will do the same so we can compare the dB numbers for each of the Ranger Tug models.
