Saw exhaust tones

[mdavlee]

Here's a loud 346

I have no idea what the issue is......

Huh? Did someone say something?

Wonder if the quad ports have something to do with the tones ? The way the air compresses or something .I can run the 660 and the hybrids for several hours and the noise from those models does not bother me at all with no ear plugs .The tone of the 461 is annoying though .

my stock 046 with dual port in front is as loud as my ported saws

Open can inside with DP sides. Dad couldnt stand being close to me while cutting. I didnt think it was to bad.


Dull chain

I got DQ'ed at a fair race once due to my 084 muffler being to loud. It would make your ears bleed.

Testing saws with stock 3/8 one day. 46cc 346OE ported

I feel the same way about a 372.......I hate the exhaust note.

Loved the sound of my 375 concrete cylinder Dan built before they made the xpw.

Now days I want quite mufflers, you hear me I MEAN QUITE! Love that cartoon back in the day.

Should have seen the muffler mod on this Helsel built saw. Saw wasnt built for muffler but did ok I guess.

I didn't think your 066 i just did was to bad but I haven't started a saw in a long time without muffs.


The last saw I ran without earplugs was matts 346,the video above Matt is handing it to me and it is loud.
My 395 is loud but the am cylinder is ported for Jchin 064 was the loudest I think I've built.

@MG2186 2171 I ported is very loud also

 

[jmssaws]

This 346 isn't what I would call quiet.

I rebuilt a 440 for a guy and used the aftermarket open can rear with bigger outlet and DP cover and it was a loud SOB stock.

All those sound waves that damage your ears are supposed to be going the other direction to hold the back the incoming charge. I think some of this problem is due to port location on the muffler. I also think that some of these saws are now better suited for an expansion pipe.

Wonder if the triple ports are equalizing the sound waves some ? the 2 hybrids i have are ported and have triples ,and are not bad to operate without plugs in the ears .The 461 has dual port only .so all the noise goes to one side .

To my ear a 550 even with stock muffler. Drives me crazy if I don't have ear plugs in.
I'm sure it has something to do with everyone's individuals ears. And the frequency of that saw.

Quads vs duals. The pitch is different

my 046 is louder then my 066 the 046 i bought last night i opened the hole a little bigger than a nickle and it is a little loud

 

[panteliss]

oohh yes now i hear you better

Try a 900 series Homie geardrive maybe an old Mac like a 660 too. your Modern saws will not seem bad at all. My Mac 700 is way louder than my 10mm 044, early 046 and ported 372's and 395.
