Noise Level
One of the most publicized issues about snowmobiles is noise. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE®), the standard-setting body for snowmobile development, recommends that snowmobiles conform to prescribed sound levels.
POLARIS snowmobiles are engineered to conform to these SAE® standards. Our muffler systems are designed to reduce noise levels and must not be altered or removed. The sound of your snowmobile may not be welcome to non-snowmobilers, so you have a responsibility to operate your snowmobile with concern for others. We do our part by manufacturing quieter machines; we ask your help to further reduce the impact of noise by operating your snowmobile safely and responsibly.
