I don't know. For a racing RX7 that sounds awfully quiet! You can most likely thank the turbo for that. I remember going to Lime Rock in 1980 for the IMSA races and hearing the GTU Mustangs. C&D recorded them as putting out an ear-splitting 133 dBA at 50 feet (it was still louder inside the car!). Mazda always claimed that it was a hum, but sure sounded like a painfully loud buzz to me.
