What do you guys think about the new noise regulations being pushed down our throat?
Are you guys as inadequate as me?

Spoken like a Prius driver. All these dumb regulations wont stop until they have every car sounding like its queefing down the road. Really not looking forward to everything becoming hybrid/electric/autonomous; cars will be getting boring as hell.

if you're getting pulled over for sound:
1. your car must be obnoxious AF and even worse, the drone inside....
2. the cops really have nothing else to do...i mean there are a million other things a cop should be doing IMO
3. if you're revving around the city, or taking it that high in the rev range, that's just asking for it...
what's the decibel limit for TOR?

You're conveniently forgetting about a ton of cops who literally have nothing to do (specially in nice neighborhoods) and who are short on their quota which means they will be desperate to hand out whatever tickets they possibly can. This just gives them a new excuse.

This is happening across the globe and I can empathize with residents who have to endure these juveniles who think it's OK to disturb entire residential neighborhoods by revving their cars and take measures to make them even louder so they can disturb people even more. Noise has been identified as a major stress factor in modern societies. I like my performance cars sounding the part like the next guy, but there's a time and place for everything. Keep your exhaust valves closed in town and take it to less populated areas. Unfortunately, it always takes a few black sheep to ruin it for everybody else. Decibel limits are coming everywhere. I've eluded to that in other threads. If folks would be courteous and not rev their cars in cities or make the exhaust pop and bang on purpose, we wouldn't be here. These bans are coming because many people had enough and have complained to the politicians for a long time.

I can see a city having quiet hours. Like no noise after 11pm until 8am. But to ticket people in broad day light for their car making sounds below 86db is ridiculous to say the least. To me it looks like a total crashgrab, I would not have said that if all other crimes in downtown was taken care off before going after the noisy boys. There still a murder everyday on average in downtown. That's one too many to even think about going for car exhaust noises before fixing the primary issues first.
Also I will understand if the exhausts are severely modified. There is 0 reason to ticket cars that comes a certain way from the factory.
