6.7 interior and drive-thru decibels vs Ram vs GM

Anyone ever measure the decibels in the interior of how noisy the engines are, comparing the brands, and also what I call "Drive-Thru" decibels to simulate idling at the order speaker. I remember the old days when Ram guys had to shut their engine off to order!

I guess you've forgotten how loud (and stinky) the previous 7.3 and 6.0 diesels were.

Couple guys at work have 2017 Rams. My 2015 6.7 is quieter at idle in the station parking lot. Couldn't tell you what they sound like in the cab.

All of the new trucks are quiet compared to the 7.3 and 6.0 I had.
