I have been pulled before because of the noise of my carb, exhaust, sc drops, sc cwp and sc gears.
I seriously doubt it! |

I think actually on the whole its not a daft question, we are continually having to adjust our lives with regards to pollution so why not noise pollution while the cars in use. Crystal Sound Audio said:

Yes, I think the question is very valid. Part of vehicle approval is noise emission. If a vehicle stays within a certain legal limit it may enter production & public roads.

Honda have got it right on their adverts "its not how loud a car is but the quality of the sound it makes"

Surely it would be hard to prosecute/fine on the noise of a gearbox if they can then a good few wagons will be completley fooked! As will tractors, plant equipment etc...all totally road legal and noisier than SC drops. Also ive heard some 4x4 running tyres which make a right bloody racket! They surely don't fall into the same category/law as cars, do they? And those off-road tyres are getting banned more and more. [X] nail here for new monitor |

It would be next to impossible to measure the sound of the gears.

With a drive-by noise test...? Dunno about the UK, but here they have some facillities to perform drive-by noise tests. Of course that's not possible on the side of the road right at the place they cought you... [X] nail here for new monitor |

But how could they realistically factor out the other noises that will obviously accompany a moving vehicle? On 2nd Nov, 2010 wil_h said:

But they're testing the cars noise levels as a whole not the drops. So if there's a noise level and the car exceeds it, its going to be the combination of, tyre noise, engine, transmision, induction, exhaust, fans etc

But currently they only test exhaust noise. How could you put a limit on vehicle noise? They would have to have different limits for different vehicles and then take into consideration engine sizes, etc.

They have drive by noise regulations in other countries, at race tracks, new cars have to pass drive by noise regulations.
