Are 4-stroke dirt bikes loud?

In fact, 2-stroke dirt bikes are louder than the 4-stroke dirt bikes although the noise from a 4-stroke dirt bike goes further. Besides mufflers and RPMs, there are other factors that influence the production of loud noise in dirt bikes.

Whats louder 2 or 4-stroke?

In simple terms a two-stroke engine fires at every cycle as compared to its counterpart, which fires at every alternate cycle. This means at a given RPM a 2-stroke engine fires twice than the 4-stroke engine, producing not only almost twice the power of a 4-stroke engine but also double the sound of a 4-stroke engine.

What noise does a 2-stroke make?

As a result, there are two sound waves leaving the exhaust on every stroke (or combustion cycle) resulting in a higher frequency or pitch, and therefore louder noise. That’s also why 2-strokes have that familiar “hin-hin-hin-hin” sound.
