Is My Straight-Piped Lamborghini LOUDER Than A 50 Cal? (Scientific Experiment)

First!!!! 😂😂 Loved the video!!!

"That jackass is out there revving his engine again. Does he have any idea how much noise he's making?"
Yes. Yes, he does.

EPIC VIDEO! Thanks for having us out. IT IS TRUE... THE LAMBO IS LOUDER! Now we gotta find something bigger and bring it back for a rematch.

Florida man sees if gun is louder than car

How to lowkey flex all your vehicles in one video
jk i love your vids fred!

My first job was installing custom stereos 20 years ago. Did that for about 5 years and routinely tuned systems above 130db. I say "huh?" and "what?" a lot now. And have a constant ring in my ears that never goes away. 15 years later. Wear ear protection.

Meanwhile, that sl55 transmission is on the floor getting dust.

"I've never stood behind the car when I'm revving it" Brilliant, Freddie

working in a hospital I phoned a friend - he said 93% of people he sees in the ENT - hearing department - are bike riders that have damaged there hearing most of the time they fitted illegal exhausts (they thinking a loud exhaust and car driver will hear them)

What we actually learned from this video: All of your cars are really quiet (except the lambo), and you need to get some 2 step on the Supra 😂

*Lambo fires*
People: Is this a hold up?
Tavarish: It's a science experiment.

Gallardo top still not fixed, no progress for months.
SL55 manual box gathering dust on shop floor, no progress
Bentley not "buttoned up", no progress.
Burnt Ferrari....burnt.
Tavarish: Hey, let's see if loud noises are bad for you.
Which we obviously know the answer to already.

Nobody:
Tavarish: hey guys im tavarish, lets do a scientific experiment
.. meanwhile @goonzquad, huracan done, viper done, drift car done, boat done .. ;D

Its funny how when shooting a new gun how the first shot is always the most nerve racking. You almost feel intimidated until you squeeze off that first round and then it goes from fear to fun instantly.

That floor is brighter than my future.

It's the kind of information the internet needs! Thanks for having me!

That guy not admitting that he didn’t know is a pretty good sign of his character. He didn’t try to bs his way through it. Good on him.

Wow you actually pulled out the Gallardo. What a surprise.

Some people need to buy shooting ear protection for their cars and every person in the vicinity. They are killing everyone(honda civic drivers)

I'll stick with NHRA nitrofuel funnies as being the loudest, even louder than a SR-71. Loud enough to make your eardrums, and your head, explode.

Say all what you want, that Gallardo's engine sound is music to my ears, all day long...
You only live once.

The best part about this was that the Lamborghini wasn’t even under load....dear GOD.
Also you may be having sound resonate better off of the pavement than the grass, should have done grass to grass but nice test nonetheless.

Haha I’m an army vet, and I can tell you, yes, yes it’s louder than a 50 cal. Might be on par with a 25mm

Epic video mate, you looked to have had so much fun doing this and I for one was truly surprised by the results. Keep up the great work 👍🏻

I really did not find anything relevant to cars on this video but MAN!! That was frickin awesome, Freddie!!! I heard of Cars and Coffee but Cars and Guns? LOL!!! Love it!!

Classic Firearms is a great company glad to see y'all team up!

It's the "pops" that register louder on the db meters. The sustained engine noise itself is louder between the Camaro and the Lambo, but the "pops" at the rev limiter make significant percussion (just like a drum), so much so that they shake the camera in the video.

Maybe the grass muffled the sound coming from the gun at longer ranges. Whereas in the parking lot it was going straight at the decimeters and bouncing off of hard asphalt.

Difference between 50ft and 100ft should be 3db, simply because it doubles the distance (dB is a logarithmic scale).
Difference between 10ft and 50ft will be affected by other things too (how much directional the sound of the exhaust is, reflections on the street etc) but even there you should be able to estimate how much over 130dB the sound level is.

once you mature you begin to hate obnoxiously loud cars especially ones that have no good reason to be loud.

Ive never really watch a bunch of your videos, but after this one, I’m fore sure subscribing. Super cool to see you working with the Classic Firearm dudes. I like the cars and guns mix. These are my two favorite hobbies, so good job!!!

Creators like you, Samcrac, and Bisforbuild inspired me in a time of my life that has been both the most amazing and the hardest. About a year ago I discovered your channel and Samcrac’s channel, and recently to keep moving forward in my own aspirations I started my own channel. Thank you for being so Awesome

Love the channel and all your builds, keep it up!

An interesting (to me) side note about recording gunfire. The wave amplitude and duration is so high and short that it causes clipping, hence why when you listen to videos of people recording gun shots it sounds so soft. You can record gunfire it but requires multiple microphones keyed to certain ranges, then remixed back together. The movie Heat is often cited as the best gun shot recordings and the director Michael Mann is noted as saying he used live recordings which caused a lot of consternation among audio geeks. However, guys who were actually on the sound team noted they mixed both live sounds with range sounds in order to achieve that realistic snap.
As for the sound drop off effect that Tavarish found. Sound is a pressure wave moving through air. What trips people out is they think of this as a classic sinosoidal wave that degrades linearly with time. However, as it is a pressure wave it effecting molecules in the air as it passes through. This creates a longitudinal wave of compressions battering on both your ear drums and the mic diaphragms. The frequency or pitch of the wave effects how it moves through the medium of air. Lower frequencies will pass through air molecules easier, thus degrade less as they move through the air. While high frequencies will slam against more air molecules and drop of faster. This is obviously an over simplification, but it essence the sound frequencies emitted by the exhaust are lower, hence take longer to drop off. Now as for the gun that got louder, I have a dumb theory that spin or tumble was introduced into the bullet which created a new harmonic and amplified the sound.

Good for you buddy. Your channel is growing very well. Keep wrenching everyday.

Nice job tavarish interesting video I really enjoy it when somebody that I follow keeps the main content in context with it but goes and does something zany that's unexpected been enjoying your videos for a while now keep up the good work

My 3 favorite things, gallardos, Barretts, and Tavarish In shorts.

Dam tavarish you disappeared bro, when are you gonna finish the bentley or start working on the ferrari or finish up the supra while the orange lambo gets painted?

Love the colaborations you make! Keep up the good work :)

Loving the new content as well at the video length! Thank you!

I'm from libya and i love your channel sow much please keep the videos coming

Holy lord, I have been watching Tavarish for over a year, been buying surplus pistols with my 03 FFL from classic for about a year. This is an amazing collaboration....but also I feel kind of like my wife met my mistress....... but then both said they were okay with it........I’m happy and confused all at the same time

Great video! It didn’t even feel as long as it was. Keep it coming!

I’m prob gonna show this video to my students!!

Loved the vid!!! and just like i told you (you don't remember) months ago you inspired us to start our own channel and we can't thank you enough!!!!

Nobody:

Sound Pressure Level (SPL) obeys the inverse square law. Doubling the distance makes the power 1/4 of the power. Thus, doubling the distance drops the SPL by 6 decibels.

Loved it!!! A fantastic addition to your channel ...by having something different 😊❤😊👍

Andrew's ST sounds like a machine gun. Your lambo sounds louder than a 50 cal... What can top this

The sound pressure levels are going to be different in different air conditions (humidity, temperature, and altitude). Just to better your sciencetician status Freddie.

look each 10 db u go up the sound multiplies by 10, so if u stand 100 feet and it is 100 db while 10 ft is 130 means that the sound 10 ft from the car is 1000 times louder than when u stood 100 ft away. So the sound dissipation is not linear in any form, and the Richter magnitude scale is logarithmic.

Glad you talked about the Camaro, I'm restoring an 89 IROC and am looking forward to the 1LE build video!

Absolutely no one:
Tavarish: How do u hear something before you hear it?
lmao 🤣🤣🤣

Nice, Freddy! Gotta do more firearm collabs in the future!

I’m glad you did this video. I have hearing loss from my younger days because of loud speakers. Thought it was cool, but now my wife gets annoyed with me asking her to repeat what she said. Please be aware of the possible damage you are doing to your hearing!

Loved this video keep it up with the content!

"Hey man, can you meet me at a gun range with a few guns and a 50 cal?"
*Brings whole arsenal*
43 minutes later

That Benz isn't that quiet sounds pretty good for a luxury car

Really funny video and a Cool Change Up from the norm. Although the Lamborghini creates more decibels the 50 BMG has a concussion that creates high pressure within your ear that is more damaging than the volume.

This was an awesome episode! Love this. Great insights. :)

Cool vid, but I assure you the 50 cal is far louder at the muzzle. In fact all but the 22 are probably louder at the muzzle.

I liked this new episode of mythbusters

This gives me an idea for a Tech Stuff Tuesday. The results you got can be explained with frequency wavelength and direction of the source causing variances in distance.

So when it comes to guns and automobiles we need to go ballistic everyday...😜

Wasn't really expecting this vid to be so interesting. Definitely proven wrong

Great vid, guys! Wonderful colab effort :)

Looked like you had fun shooting that. Great video and Collaboration

That new floor is way too OP for your shop xD

and here is us in the EU "The legal noise limit for cars un Europe is 74 decibels and it is illegal to modify an exhaust to be louder than this"

I think there is merit in what stephen said below. The sound will have bounced back from the asphalt and the waves will have kind of doubled up, incresing the sound pressure and giving a higher reading.
The grass/soil on the other hand will definately absorb alot of the sound or at the very least not allow the sound frequencies to double up
Need a follow up video with the lambo on a feild please tav.
Great vid though, enjoyed it alot

Try redoing the Barrett reading with the sound readers off to the side, not out in front. The muzzle brake ejects out the sides more than the front. You might peak the reader.
Also, you get to shoot the Barrett again, so even if I'm wrong you're still shooting a Barrett.

Okay enough of the sound stuff get back on the Bentley engine

Best title for this video "Things I wouldn't be able to do in New Jersey" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Loved the vid man, hope you can put out some content about that camaro racecar.💪👍🇺🇸

Great way to combine two of my favorite topics!
One of the things that may be playing into your sound meter values is how they are weighted. Some styles (and models) of meters are better suited for measuring sustained sound levels, like a car, while others are designed to measure impulse noises, like a firearm.
Hopefully I win that Barrett! I need one for my collection...

Just a quick tip here to understand decibels better. The scale on decibels works just like the scale on earthquakes, it's not linear!! So for every 10db it is actually 10 times as loud than before, and it's a multiplier, so 130db is 10000x louder than 90db.

Notification Squad, 1:33 AM in Australia..

Tavarish, you're awesome. thank you for your videos!

Cool video! The frequency and duration of sound has some impact on the result, which may result in these measurings. It depends on the sound meters and how they are built and how they work, if a short burst of sound measures lower than a long roar from the car. Man, that Lambo is impressive!

I could tell this vid wasn't being promoted like normal too, views were way too low for Tav. Sorry man!

I was hoping to see Matt from @Demolitionranch 😩

I loved this Video too. Love the cars love the guns. Clint did not mention that the muzzle device on the Barrett directs some of the energy (and noise) to the sides. You may have gotten a louder reading directly to the side as opposed to in front. I think this is why the guns were all over the place, muzzle device vs no device. Also the length of the barrel plays in. Would have loved if you could have gotten the noise levels on the Top Fuel and Funny cars. I wonder on a car with headers and cutouts on the exhaust would do and would it be louder to the side or behind.
Round II

Now that you've got the meters, you should test out some of your tools. Especially something like banging on stuff / running an impact while under a car. Find out why you *should* wear ears when working on your car too. I recommend getting a good and comfortable set of active ears that you can wear in the garage and on the range. It's so great when you can talk normally with them on and still be protected from the loud stuff.

Fist gun souds like a bb gun with the suppressor

Here from OfftheRanch or DemolitionRanch, new sub!

I actually really enjoyed this episode. Nice work!

Very cool video. I'm sure someone already mentioned this, but decibels is not a linear scale, so the numbers you get from sound meters can be a little hard to interpret if you don't think about this stuff every day.
Decibels are a 'logarithmic scale", so every time you have a 3db increase, you actually doubling the power being measured. That means a 10db increase in sound is actually doubling the energy in the air just over 3 time, so you actually have just over 8X more acoustic energy bouncing around.
Now the sound associated with the supersonic rounds is a different matter. When you fire a round, there are two sounds created. There's the "crack" of the round firing and the sound produced by the round flying though the air. A supersonic round is actually traveling through the air faster than sound can radiate from it, so sound waves "bunch up" at the nose of the bullet and create a pressure wave that we all know as a sonic boom. The bullet then drags this sonic boom across the ground as it travels. This means that fore really high speed rounds, the travelling bullet portion of the gun's sound shouldn't change much over the first few hundred feet of the bullet's travel because the shell has not bled off much speed. It may be interesting to see if there is a correlation between the measurements of the supersonic rounds and their muzzle exit velocities.
Lastly, there is one other piece to the hearing damage puzzle. Sound pressure levels (SPLs) play a big part, but the actual damage levels also depend on the Spectral Power Density of the sound. That's just a fancy way of saying the amount of power at each of the frequencies that make the sound. Humans ears are a lot more susceptible to damage from very intense high frequencies. This is why sitting on a subwoofer feels kinda good, but putting your ear up to a blasting tweeter feels like sticking an ice pick into your ear. Gunshots have an intense spectrum that is spread out over the entire audio band, so on a scope it looks like "white noise" You would think that this would make it easier on our ears, but it can be VERY damaging vecause a LOT of the energy is concentrated in a very short burst at very high frequencies.... and because db is a nonlinear scale, 10 or 15 more db puts a LOT of energy in the most damaging parts of the audio spectrum.
By contrast, car exhaust focus most of their energy at much lower frequencies, which actually makes it sound much more pleasing and musical. I'll spare you the math, but the rpm of the motor and the number of cylinders gives a number of pulses per second that is fed into your exhaust pipes, but then your exhaust system acts like a trumpet (or tuba) and filters out a LOT frequencies that fall outside of the resonance frequencies of the pipes. So instead of getting a "fingernails on a chalkboard" screech from your tailpipe, you get something that make you wanna giggle like a little kid.
I hope this helps.

I would love to comment, but I couldn't hear myself think about what I wanted to say.

When you see a brand new tavarish video, but you gotta go to work :(
Edit: Very cool vid!

Much more respect for you sir. We can definitely be buds , I wonder if my Harleys are louder ..

The tympanic membrane (ear drum) doesn’t actually do the hearing and isn’t actually the site of contact with the vestibular nerve. It transmits the vibration of the wave through the bones which pressure pumps the oval window of the cochlea, a closed snail shaped tube. The pressure pumps vibrate up into a certain point in that looped snail shell and the tiny movements in that specific spot of the cochlea depolarizes that specific point of the nerve, which sends the pitch and intensity of the sound waves to the brain to be translated into the sounds we hear and understand. Which is crazy.

Your sensors were out of their usable range. The first sensor was way to low, out of the percussion cone of most of the firearms.

So the lambo is 2 times as loud as the Maro, that’s tufff.

Great video, looks like lots of fun was had making it. I wonder if the asphalt transfers the sound more vs. the grass and dirt absorbing the sound more? Either way very interesting and entertaining video.

Paused halfway through the video and wasn't sure if I'd came back to tavarish or demo ranch

Your data is not comparable. Firearms have a single impulse that most handheld meters don't pick up correctly.

you should have joined the Marines Tavares...you'd get to shoot 50 cals all the time 😏 i went to a Gator National with top fuel cars and you can feel those cars leave at the top rafter seats!😳

Inverse Square Law is the scientician’s law which teaches us that for every doubling of the distance from the sound source in a free field situation, the sound intensity will diminish by 6 decibels. The intensity of the sound is inversely proportional to the square of the distance of the wavefront from the signal source. A sound’s intensity in decibels can be calculated by comparing the intensity to the threshold of hearing. The sound intensity is x10^ watts/m2 = dB. Use this to work out where to stand so your poor ears don’t hurt :)
Loving your work Freddie

great video. neat to watch the realization of increasing power, then the big jump to a .50.
I've yet to see even the most ardent anti gunner, fight off the machine gun grin.
I grew to enjoy watching others shoot my Barrett, more than shooting it myself..

when the nine year olds hear the dude say scar
"FOrTniTe oH my GOd FOrTniTE"
