That's a tricky one to answer. How loud at what distance? Under what conditions? Anyone with a smartphone can get a db reading that won't be dead on, but will put you in the ballpark. But obviously the loudness at idle from 15 feet (5 meters for you Metric types) will be a lot different than 6000 rpm at the the same distance.

As a strictly non-scientific answer, they're not so loud as to generate complaints from my neighbors or my wife. I'd say generally no louder than my GMC pickup with the Duramax diesel.
