Noise Level
One of the most publicized issues about snowmobiles is noise. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAEsm), the standard-setting body for snowmobile development, recommends that snowmobiles conform to prescribed sound levels.
POLARIS snowmobiles are engineered to conform to these SAEsm 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.
