None at Watkins Glen. The deer, woodchucks and skunks haven't complained about the noise yet.

At Watkins Glen races, SCCA Sound Control now sets up at the top of the Esses. You'll see the Sound guys in the "Spotter's Stand" on driver's left, right before you cross the tunnel. Sound microphone is also "driver's left", so point your exhaust elbow to the right.
Other organizations will use the sole of the boot (between the Toe and the Heel), and sometimes the short straight between the Heel and the "Off-camber Left" - T9. Again, all these mic locations are "driver's left", so point it to the right.
