2-3 decibels is psychoacoustically a “just perceptible” difference for broadband noise, but for tonal noise (focused in more narrow bands of frequencies) as one gets from jet engines it could be appreciable, especially since people tend to be more annoyed by tonal noise.
Why get up in the morning when you can just kill yourself and not have to worry about doing anything ever?
Today, I attended a meeting with two purposes:
MAN HITS TWO BITCHES, ONE BIRCH
Those are actually mufflers. We use them in the car testing world on both the intake and exhaust sides. They can be used for all sorts of things. Many times a vehicle is muffled up to study the radiated noise of the engine or transmission or any assortment of other things without the intake or exhaust being in the…

YEAH! IT'LL BE REAL GOOD!! (That's me second from the left)
Plymouth is like if you started with a nice, small house and built an extension(Plymouth Township). Then when you had even more money, you bought one of those metal garages to store all your shit in, that's Canton.
It's fast and cheap but you don't like it. So run for the plastic.

Take this with a grain of salt, as I have only managed engineering projects for 15 years, and that has been on simple systems such as 5th generation fighter aircraft, wind turbines, and gas processing facilities - that means the complexity of a car may be beyond my area of expertise.
