A friend of mine has a sound level meter. I'll ask to borrow it and see
if I can get some measurements for you. It's rather subjective to say
whether it is too loud for people to talk over the noise. If it's my
sister talking, a 747 wouldn't muffle her mouth.

How loud is it? Did you get the muffler for it? Can you hold a normal

the noise?

I've been looking into getting a bandsaw and setting up a small shop in
a segregated apartment room and I'm concerned about noise.
