Decibel levels in LLV ??

[elynrose]

Does anyone happen to know what the decibel levels are in a LLV while driving down country roads?
I did a portion of a 90 mile rural route in a LLV and besides the bone jarring ride I felt like I lost some hearing ability.  Has anyone considered this as a deterrent to forcing Rural Carriers to use a LLV?  Would this be a valid concern for possible disability questions?

I have to say, I have thought the same thing.  They are very loud, and if you have the heat on or the fan on, you can't hear anyone speaking to you outside the vehicle.
