My stihl ms 441 rcm that Alan Wolthuis built me has a VERY nice tone that no other saw has I can run the saw all day and it won't hurt my ears as long as I wear ear plugs.

 

[Al Smith]

I've run several that just plugs won't do it.

Oh yeah. I've got 6-10 Mac,the 70 cc version of a 10-10 I tweeked with a widened exhaust and a gutted muffler ,advanced timing and turns over 15,000 RPM .It will make dogs howl .That one takes muffs .

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.

You have the loudest saw on earth and you don't even mention it?!!
That 090 gear drive you have is so loud there's no escape. I saw branches falling off nearby trees when it popped on choke.

It must be the porting and semi gutted muffler.

Looks like I'm not the only one that hates the sound/pitch of a 372.

I like a ported saw like anyone but doing tree work in residential areas in peoples backyards means a not to over the top muffler is appreciated by everyone involved. Baffles were invented for a reason, but I agree some saws have a pitch that is powerfull on ears. A good muffler mod IMO is some what nice yo ears as well.

i think my 041 will make a def kid cry that thing is LOUD.

 

[drf256]

No screens and a front outlet make saws pretty unbearable.

That was Phil!

Believe it or not, Lee's kart saw is louder than Brets ESR 350

 

[ajschainsaws]

Solo Rex is another crackling sound thank heavens it only rev's out at 7000 rpm and not 12,000 rpm

 

[srcarr52]

Here's a loud 346

Yeah, that is the loudest saw I've ever built.

 

[Jon1212]

Some. A few are stock saws from the 60-70s when a muffler was a straight shot about 3" long.

LOL! Like a Clinton, with the Bugle Horn.

The loudest stock saw I ever ran was a McCulloch 7-10A.......good füüking grief!

The most cranial piercing saw I own is my MS390, but the Old Stock MMWS decal probably has much to do with it.

 

[Stump Shot]

McCulloch 10 series, has to be the King of making operators ears bleed. Muffler is little more than a diverter to make sound straight to you right ear. Lots of people back in the day would take their 10-10 to the dealer for a "new" muffler, was just as loud as the last, only aimed in different direction is all. Nothing sounds quite like an old Mac! Honorable mention to the Homelite XL series. No muffler mods required!

 

[sawmikaze]

This 346 isn't what I would call quiet.

I really like that 346 jay.

 

[P.M.P.]

I grab ear protection before grabbing my MMWS 7901

I read somewhere that he uses his legs for punching the holes in the muffler....
