What’s “conservative” about thinking that one has a “right” to make an ear-splitting racket that disturbs other people just trying to sleep or enjoy the use of their own property? With rights come reponsibilities, a concept seemingly lost on a lot of people. What we have on the roads now, as far as noise goes, is essentially anarchy. Since writing a consistent, measurable noise law is difficult, we will probably see the default being to require stock exhausts, which have already been measured and approved by the DOT. It’s unfortunate, but many people have irresponsibly used their “freedom” to make themselves a nuisance to everyone else.
rights with regulations?
No.
Noise level is a relative thing...but only tyrants try to regulate the relatives. For me, maybe the noise your blender makes is too loud...or your lawn mower, or your cat, or your hedge trimmer, or your kids laughing, or your -fill-in-the-blank.
This really has more to do with those evil dirty nasty bikers than anything else. And when your logic is applied to the loud things you CHOOSE to participate in then you will cry bans to be unreasonable.
The regulations you might see might apply to car stereos, & exhausts in cars too....but I doubt it...for the busybodies dare not have their OWN STUFF regulated...their own ox gored...for they will surely cry foul.
