I have a 40 page training PPT on the subject if anybody is really bored!


Wolf nailed it anyway with the word "perceived" since what I think is too loud, the next guy may think isn't even starting to get loud.


I don't think my TRD is "loud" but my wife can find me across a large busy parking lot just by sound!!!
