the propipe with quiet baffle is quiet. the short shots are going to be loud no matter what you do.

double wrapping the baffle will cut a little more noise down.

It's frightening. I've been in a war, but this is much more anxiety producing.

So I've modded and reinstalled one baffle. I didn't put in any additional packing/wadding as I thought I'd see what effect the baffle has on its own. Couldn't wait for both to be done so fired it up straight away, and......exactly the same 95db.

So maybe the free sound meter app is useless, but my ears tell me there's no difference as well so I'll add some packing to this baffle and complete the second one and see what that does. It's all reversible anyway so no harm done if there's no impact.

Also I only checked the sound at idle when cold so maybe there's some impact in other conditions.
