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.
maybe we’ll start a campaign in your neighborhood to ban fireworks on the fourth of July because of the ear-splitting racket that disturbs other people just trying to sleep or enjoy the use of their own property.
...or put noise monitiors on your street in case your children laugh and play too loudly because of the ear-splitting racket that disturbs other people just trying to sleep or enjoy the use of their own property.
...or ban your LOUD guns because of the ear-splitting racket that disturbs other people just trying to sleep or enjoy the use of their own property
...or ban LOUD mouths with ignorant comments because of the ear-splitting racket that disturbs other people just trying to sleep or enjoy the use of their own property.
...or ban municipal airports and traffic & Sheriff helicopters because of the ear-splitting racket that disturbs other people just trying to sleep or enjoy the use of their own property
...or ban LOUD protest marches because of the ear-splitting racket that disturbs other people just trying to sleep or enjoy the use of their own property.
...or ban church bells because of the ear-splitting racket that disturbs other people just trying to sleep or enjoy the use of their own property.
...or ban...fill-in-the-blank because of the ear-splitting racket that disturbs other people just trying to sleep or enjoy the use of their own property
...or Friday night high school football games because of the ear-splitting racket that disturbs other people just trying to sleep or enjoy the use of their own property.
...see, when it’s YOUR ox, then it’s an apparent different story...so don’t gore my ox.
Forget about goring and oxes and all that. You can’t enjoy riding your bike without making an earsplitting racket? Is that an essential part of the experience? I enjoy riding mine just fine with stock mufflers. I wouldn’t even mind moderately louder aftermarket pipes. But when I can hear some idiot with straight pipes accelerating away from a stop sign 3 blocks away they’re TOO DAMNED LOUD!
I don’t mind a certain amount of noise, and some loud noises are unavoidable. I live near an airport and at some times of the day planes are usually coming on approach, and less often climbing out over my house. A necessary evil. The kids next door can be noisy sometimes, but kids will do that - I’m not some sort of nut that would try to ban kids, or ban kids having a little fun. When the guy next door runs his lawnmower (or me mine), that’s noisy and annoying, too. But it’s usually only once a week or so for less than an hour, and again it’s understandable. If I started mowing my lawn at the crack of dawn in the summer (around 5am or so), I’d not be surprised at all to get a visit from the cops and a citation. So why do I have to put up withm my idiot neighbour across the street starting up his Harley at 5:30 and letting idle in the driveway for 10-15 minutes (nevermind what kind of piece of crap needs that long of a warm-up, anyway - that’s another discussion) What need or useful purpose is served by making an ear-splitting racket with your bike, other than to draw attention? And no, I don’t really care for extremely loud sport bike exhaust systems, either. There’s nothing particularly clever or amusing about making a whole bunch of noise just because you can.
