California’s “environmentalists” and State Legislators are hypocrites relevant to dangerous vehicle noise that destroys the environment while abusing the citizenry…
While touring the Bay Area of San Francisco, San Bruno, South San Francisco, Oakland, I was amazed to see and hear the belligerent, narcissistic, selfish, vehicular noise thugs that inundate California’s roadways; those noise bullies who operate illegally modified, illegally LOUD auto’s, trucks, motorcycles.
The US EPA, subsequent thorough testing and analysis relevant to the destruction to daily quality of life, the physiological dangers, of unregulated motor vehicle noise, concluded that 78dB(A) was the maximum safe noise level emissions for motor vehicles operated on America’s public roadways. Initially, for example, the US EPA regulated motorcycle noise emissions to 83dB(A) in 1983 and subsequent further evaluation determined that 83dB(A) was physiologically unsafe and therefore sought a 78dB(A) noise emissions restriction for all street use motorcycles going forward. Suzuki Motors complained that adhering to the 78dB(A) noise restriction would be cost prohibitive; therefore, the US EPA compromised and enacted a 80dB(A) “total” noise emissions for all street use motorcycles 1986 year model going forward. This Federal mandate remains relevant to this very day and every street-use motorcycle is mandated via the Code of Federal Regulations to be equipped with a properly labeled, quiet, muffler and matching frame label.
Unfortunately, the US EPA delegated enforcement of the 80dB(A) vehicular noise emission regulations to the States and the States, their legislators, their police, have been an utter failure to this very day. California’s legislators and Governor Newsom are not only environmental hypocrites but they’re as useless as the tits on a boar hog as they’ve enacted an impotent sound meter legislative mandate relevant to motor vehicle noise which allows for 95dB(A); logarithmically, 95dB(A) is 15X more intense than 80dB(A); therefore, California allows vehicular noise thugs to rule the roadways while the naive citizenry cows and accepts the abuse. Shame on California and shame on socialist Newsom.
Beautiful California, the Mecca of Liberal-Progressive insanity, a “paradise” that litters its mountain sides with useless windmills and its valleys with Chinese solar panels, a socialist utopia hopelessly deceived by the demonic cult of “man induced climate change,” a deceived State of liberal insanity that gags over plastic straws and liquid gold below their feet while allowing the abusive, narcissistic, thugs, of the LOUD vehicle cult[ure] to destroy the environment, destroy and abuse the daily quality of life of millions with illegally equipped, illegally LOUD motor vehicles…California, the mecca of those who worship the creature rather than the Creator while this beautiful State is destroyed by virtue signaling liberal elites and an arrogant, cocky, Governor that serves the Devil as opposed to his constituency (Romans 1:18-32).
§ 205.52 Vehicle noise emission standards.
(a) Low Speed Noise Emission Standard. Vehicles which are manufactured after the following effective dates shall be designed, built and equipped so that they will not produce sound emissions in excess of the levels indicated.
| Effective date | Level |
|---|---|
| (i) January 1, 1979 | 83 dBA. |
| (ii) January 1, 1988 | 80 dBA. |
(b) The standards set forth in paragraph (a) of this section refer to the sound emissions as measured in accordance with the procedures prescribed in § 205.54-1,2.
