[Nature Recordists] measuring noise levels - help needed

All,

Its spring in Australia, the birds are singing, but school holidays
have just started and kids on motor bikes are doing constant circuits
on the property next door.  One new 2-stroke bike is particularly
annoying.  There is a 1-minute recording of it on SoundCloud here:

I would like to be able to get a rough estimate of its noise level
for legal reasons.  Does anyone know how I can estimate a decibel
reading from this recording?  Details of equipment are on SoundCloud.

My legal advice is that I have 'an entitlement to the quiet enjoyment
of my property' and that the 2-stroke motorbike noise constitutes 'a
legal nuisance'.

Being able to measure the actual noise level would be a bonus.

Thanks in advance,

Vicki Powys
Australia
