i thought the LM was louder than a bullet being a hollowed out resonator???

i do like the LM sound except for the rasp in the higher rpms but still want something milder than the LM. the drone would drive me crazy

no, loudmouth should be a tad quieter... its the way the bullets are designed.. they amplify the damn sound..

anything like a 1 chamber, bullet, etc. is going to have drone, no if ands or butts..

so how loud are you looking for.. or quiet, i think im thinking your wanting to go somewhere else than you want to..
