What makes a motorcycle louder?
Why are motorcycles so loud? The exposed engine and the exhaust pipe length are the real reason motorcycles are loud. There is no insulated engine compartment to deaden noise. Plus, the exhaust and muffler aren’t long enough to slow the exhaust and air down, which makes it louder coming out.
Are louder bikes safer?
According to North America’s best-known study on motorcycle safety, the Hurt Report, published in 1981, motorcycles with loud pipes were not less likely to be involved in crashes. In fact, the study found that they were at a slightly higher risk for being involved in a crash.
Is it necessary for motorcycles to be loud?
Contrary to popular belief, motorcycles are not manufactured to be loud. They are designed to increase the exhaust noise of motorcycles and their manufactures openly admit they are intended “for use on closed courses only.” Those types of exhaust systems are not legal for use on highway motorcycles.
Is loud exhaust good?
Those who make their car louder may commonly cite improved performance as their motivation. Removing a muffler can very slightly increase a vehicle’s horsepower by allowing greater levels of exhaust fumes to leave the engine in a free-flow style.
How can I get better sound from my CD player?
If you’re buying a new player, consider going for one with digital inputs. These will open up use with other digital sources – computer, set-top box, DAB radio – and will give you improved performance across all feeds thanks to the (hopefully) higher quality digital-to-analogue (DAC) circuitry.
What makes a vinyl record sound better than a CD?
The simplest is to make a record that plays faster. The more information running past the needle per second, the more detailed the sound being reproduced; so a record spinning at 45rpm will sound better than the same one built to spin at 33 1/3rpm.
What kind of sound does a CD player get?
Most players’ analogue outputs deliver around 2V, give or take a few microvolts, and that’s just what the amp’s line inputs expect to receive. If you’re using a vintage amp built before the CD age you may have some issues, but a simple modification will sort them out.

Why are audio cassettes so much better than CDs?
Also consider in the days of analog tape media, that for economical reasons, the final product that makes it into the hands of the consumer has been mass produced through a high speed copying process – further compromising fidelity and bandwidth.
Which is better a spinning record or a spinning CD?
The more information running past the needle per second, the more detailed the sound being reproduced; so a record spinning at 45rpm will sound better than the same one built to spin at 33 1/3rpm.
Which is better a CD or an LP?
Eventually CD mastering and electronics improved, but then the “loudness wars” started around the turn of the millennium, and many CDs ended up with much LESS dynamic range than their LP counterparts, despite their theoretical potential.
