Bombardier Announces Quieter Watercraft for 1999.NASSAU, Bahamas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 17, 1997-- Largest PWC Manufacturer Unveils Revolutionary "D-Sea-Bel(TM)" Noise Reduction System to More Than 1000 Authorized SEA DOO Dealer Today, Bombardier Marine Products Division set the course for the future of the personal watercraft personal watercraft n. 1. A motorized recreational water vehicle normally ridden by straddling a seat. 2. (used with a pl. verb) Such water vehicles considered as a group. industry by announcing the installation of the D-Sea-Bel Noise Reduction System in all models of SEA DOO watercraft and jet boats by model-year 1999. Unveiled this year on the GTX GTX Gore-Tex GTX Global TeleExchange GTX Grand Tourisme Extra (b) RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) High-frequency electromagnetic waves that emanate from electronic devices such as chips. RFI - Radio Frequency Interference (a) model before 1000 enthusiastic SEA DOO dealers, the D-Sea-Bel System employs cutting-edge sound reduction technology proven in the automotive industry The automotive industry is the industry involved in the design, development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles. In 2006, more than 69 million motor vehicles, including cars and commercial vehicles were produced worldwide. to lower noise emissions substantially. "D-Sea-Bel represents the first step by Bombardier to lead the industry in a new, quieter direction," said Henry Lonski, president of the Bombardier Marine Products Division. "The D-Sea-Bel system was designed to increase the enjoyment of watercraft, both for our riders and the community." The D-Sea-Bel System utilizes a new muffler muffler, in automobiles, device designed to reduce the noise from the exhaust of an internal-combustion engine. When the exhaust gases from an internal-combustion engine are released directly into the atmosphere, they create a loud noise, caused by the passage of the and noise suppression system combined with composite parts to dampen engine noise levels at all speeds. The muffler and intake ports are wrapped with acoustical insulation and synthetic casing reducing noise levels at both the intake and exhaust areas. In addition, the D-Sea-Bel System uses a Hemholtz Resonator resonator /res·o·na·tor/ (rez´o-na?ter) 1. an instrument used to intensify sounds. 2. an electric circuit in which oscillations of a certain frequency are set up by oscillations of the same frequency in another that targets and suppresses specific noise frequencies. Customized to the engine, the Hemholtz Resonator employs several different length tubes attached to the exhaust pipe. While exhaust flow does not travel through the tubes, sound waves pass into the tube, bounce off the back wall and cancel out Verb 1. cancel out - wipe out the effect of something; "The new tax effectively cancels out my raise"; "The `A' will cancel out the `C' on your record" wipe out incoming waves eliminating certain low frequency sounds. By mounting the pump on a rubber housing, the D-Sea-Bel System also reduces high frequency noise caused by vibration between the pump and the hull. Extensive land and water-based sound testing of D-Sea-Bel has produced impressive results at all levels of operation. With the D-Sea-Bel sound reduction system, the GTX-RFI has a full 50 percent lower Sound Pressure Level than the 1997 GTX model with the 800 Series Rotax marine engine (data based upon the industry standard ICOMIA ICOMIA International Council of Marine Industry Associations twenty-five meter standard pass-by test results). "The D-Sea-Bel System is another example of how Bombardier leads the industry in innovation and technology," said Steve Milz, vice president of engineering for Bombardier. "D-Sea-Bel significantly reduces the noise level of SEA DOO watercraft and jet boats without compromising performance. In quieting ALL of our models by the year 1999, we have shown that were listening to the publics concerns and are committed to finding solutions."
