California Targets Loud Exhaust with Sound-Activated Camera Enforcement

[M-Sport fan]

Yeah, I noticed all the young dudes in BMWs are backfiring like crazy in naturally aspirated cars.

I can hear them coming and going for like a half-mile or so away on some of the 'twistier' roads around here, whether they are NA or boosted!

I do however, I do believe they will soon install "Gardner Cams"

hmmm you thought about it

Dpro is right though!

Glad to see it. I love fast cars, I have fast motorcycles, but I don't like it when they are racing down my street when I'm trying to sleep, or when I can't have a conversation with someone while walking down the street.

I'm old! Get off my lawn!

have the same issue where I live the bmws and lambos being the culpits.

95db limit is actually pretty conservative. It's often db limit on Leguna Seca racetrack. I don't blow 95db going wot on my fiesta with catted cobb dp and thermal catback. have barely blown it at 97db one time with my z1le camaro w stock exhaust (was the final run of the day and wanted to test out if I could go wot without getting in trouble). I am not sure your typical bmw with juvenile burble tune would be that loud, but hope im wrong.

sadly not sure how much difference it'll make if the cameras are identified say on navigation apps like Waze, although I do hope they install it on some residential streets to discourage speeding and making a racket.

On my street, it's not the noise, it's f'ng Tesla owners and SUV's barreling through the Stop signs and speeding up the hill!

Strategically placed Speed bumps would be effective and may be cheaper. Would deter acceleration and speeding addressing noise and speed together in specific areas.

Yea, I put rocks in my garden to combat the rouge leaf blowers.

Back in the ‘90,s IIRC there were billboards, bus signs, etc. sponsored by 1800CUTSMOG where anyone could call and report license plates of gross polluters. They would tally up possible repeat offenders with a notice via mail and if need be a visit to the ref. Maybe they’ll bring that back for gross polluters and noise violators. Easy enough to capture video today as proof. I have a list and ready 😎

How do you report noise pollution to the EPA?

Report noise pollution. Noise pollution is sound at a level that’s annoying, distracting or harmful to a person’s wellbeing. How you report noise pollution depends on where the noise is coming from. If you’re not sure who to complain about noise to, call EPA’s 24-hour pollution hotline on 1300 372 842.

Leaf blowers are reportable now if with 500ft of residence in LA County. Download app and have at it MYLA311. Reporting Vehicle noise violations are currently handled by LEOs.

Speed bumps and especially humps are literally fun for the motorcycles...

Maybe in your neck of the woods, not in LA. Unless riders want to die.

Just get your butt off the seat and you'll be fine... 😋 40+ easy...

It’s not a matter of skill or capability, it’s other unforeseen situations that will kill in LA. This thread topic is posted in a specific location of the forum for the region. Please try to keep that in mind.

The point you (purposefully?) avoided: Speed humps and bumps alone don't necessarily deter motorcycles.

 

[koozy]

I didn’t avoid anything. I choose not to waste my time. If that’s avoiding to you, so be it.
