I have a Mongoose Mnt Bike - is this going to be loud to use and if so what can I do to make it quieter?

no,if your rims out of shape-you can adjust it no noise period/mine is bent and has knobby tires and i adjusted it works great,it will change if you move the bike-just double check.

I would assume any padding will lessen the noise. I have this setup in garage so I can't speak from experience. Maybe someone who has similar setup to your will have a more concrete answer.

It is still fairly loud. The lower setting isn't too loud but if you really want to move things, you'll probably need it on the higher setting and it's noticeably louder.

The unit is very quiet when using a road tire, I had a mountain bike tire at first and it was very loud.

One other thought. If there is a Lowes or Home Depot near you with demonstration fans, run one with a similar Sone rating and then you can get a feel for how loud it will be. Best of luck. Stephen

Mine is pretty loud because since my bike is placed against my building I face the speaker towards the building and the sound bounces off the building and echos.

It's louder than most, but it really depends on the tire you use. A knobby tire (mountain bike) is going to be crazy loud. A standard road bike tire will be quieter. I use a trainer tire made to only be used on the trainer, it's quieter than a standard road tire.

These motors will only put out the sound you want them to. By this I mean it truly does all depend on the exhaust. With an expansion chamber and muffler on your bike it should be quiet enuf to ride around the neighborhood. For smell there's not much you can do about that for the fact that two strokes are just naturally smellier due to the fact that the gas and oil are mixed together. As long as you run a good spark plug, 91+ for fuel and high quality two stroke oil you should be fine.

You will be happier with another amp. This is no way loud enough on my bike.

No , it isn't as good as i was hoping for the money.I installed it in a Kawasaki Teryx and the machine is fairly loud.

It's loud enough to hear if in your pocket. I sold my bike but I do remember it was loud enough that got on my nerves sometimes so I muted it.

Honestly. This would provide less sound than you want before it provides too much. Its a very subtle difference, but it is noticeable. I have this exhaust system and a KN intake. Its very nice. But to answer your question i assure you, it wont be too loud.

I don't think it would be loud enough unless you have a faring on the motorcycle.

Mine walked a bit, but putting a log behind the wheels as a chock was an easy solution. Haven't noticed any problem with the exhaust. I will agree that it's noisy, but no more than I would expect from a machine of this kind.

It has a hum for sure. Some of that depends on the tires on your bike. I had three different bikes on mine and they all sounded different, some louder than others. Tension increases the hum too.

I don't know if it will work but in general it is VERY noisy. Unless you're planning to stroll on ideally leveled rubber it's making I ridiculous noise.

would say you could but it is a mini motorcycle and it's still loud. I guess it would depend on your neighbors tolerance of loud noise
