Sound Level?

Has anybody done measurements on the sound levels from the different diesel engines (Cummins, Powerstroke, Duramax)? I'm looking for actual dBs, both at idle outside the truck, as well as at cruise inside.

Also, is there an independent side-by-side comparison anywhere between the three big trucks (Dodge 3500, Chevy 3500, Ford F-350)?

I know - I have weird questions, don't I

?

Thanks. Alain.
