I find mine is'nt that loud when driving "nicely" or normally only when applying some throttle, it's those people that have to drive everywhere like an eighteen year old in their first car. The number of chavs in their really old Fiesta's, or Saxos and even Clios that have maybe only part of the exhaust on that I find are not just noisy but downright offensive that I find myself annoyed at.
Or am I just getting old

120 + db lol
i think a boing 747 taking off is 120 -140 db
, at the same time it is the threshold of getting internal permanent ear damage 
got a full decat with ninja, not to loud until above 3k, then a luvly roar
always poodle into the neighborhood, let it cool off at the same time, keep the neighbors happy

Quite a way off 
doesnt sound all that loud up close, just an average sounding sporty exhaust but my girlfriend and a couple of mates often tell me at nights they can hear me for a few minutes after Ive left and that I need to slow down..... Don't need to slow down.... just have to keep the bloody thing revving, its an 1800 zetec rofl
During the day you can only hear it a couple of streets down max. I'm not really running anything special either exhaust wise its just a decat pipe and an off the shelf piper full system
