140db?? :lol: very much doubt it, unless that's at the limiter...?

Yeah that can't be right!! Must find someone with a proper tester and get it checked. :oops:

My 130dB's was at Castle Combe with proper equipment, I wouldnt say that the phone with its tiny mic would be that accurate, mine was recorded at around 5k rpm.
