I'm all for this new regulation, wishing it was national and that it was enforced. It is such rude, selfish, and abhorrent exhibition and imposition upon others--I'm amazed there hasn't been an uprising leading to more attention given to the gross and ever-present 'disturbing the peace'.
And it isn't getting better in my observation. Seems the flush savings and retirement accounts that resulted over the recent year+ with market growth and lack of spending on destination vacations seems to have raised it up another notch. There are more loud motorcycles and vehicles now than even a year or two ago.
Here in Golden, the POs do have noise meters (or at least did prior to pandemic) and used them, especially in downtown Golden along the sanctioned routes that the
Golden Super Cruise events use (one evening a month). But meanwhile, the highways elsewhere through and out of the city (still City of Golden jurisdiction) were and continue to be a fool's paradise of noisy motorcycles (both HDs and crotch rockets) and hot rod autos (both classic and modern).
I find that any loud exhaust, no matter how exotic or sexy the car or motorcycle, is not acceptable either. Yet some say 'that one sounds cool'. No it doesn't, take it to the racetrack.
I live 1/4 mile as the crow flies from a 2 lane throughway with traffic lights--the exhaust sound is simply absurd and excessive, echoing off the valley hills continuously. It pisses me off.
...
Most of the Harley's are now stock Street glides and Ultra's, and the old folks riding them would rather hear their tunes than the bikes exhaust.
That's not consistent with what I see and hear, here.
