Legislation Aims to Limit Vehicle Noise Across Classes
A state bill proposes decibel caps by vehicle class and speed, covering total noise not just exhaust. It would bar selling new cars exceeding limits, set testing procedures with SAE input, and impose fines up to 100 dollars or 30 days in jail. Proponents cite reducing din from autos, motorcycles, trucks, and snowmobiles.
