I dislike loud pipes, but as usual the article demonstrates the insincere nature of law enforcement.



"Police say they have ticketed riders who are producing decibel readings as high as 120. They note that's almost as loud as a jackhammer, which produces 130 decibels"



Actually, sound pressure levels needed to produce 130db is more than 400% higher than those required to produce 120db. A 120db SPL is not even close to 130db.



"They note that it takes only 85 decibels to damage hearing."



Many cars have noise levels in excess of 85 db inside when driving, especially when the window are wound down … I guess we better stop riding cars lest we all go deaf.



I guess Canadians will believe anything their government tells them.

Oh boy. So we’re stupid?



105db at 30 feet is acceptable you say?



That means :

111db at 15 feet

117db at 7.5 feet

123db at 3.25 feet

and a whopping 130 db at 1.625 feet.



And no, it doesn’t matter which gear you are in. 130db will remain 130db.



I’ll refrain from saying the obvious …
