    Google it; you will find many examples of private citizens and businesses that are tired of the noise made by loud bikes and cars. Hence the negative attitude towards the noise. That negativity, is reflects on all bikes (and trikes) regardless of the, source whether it be government or otherwise. Your insistence on being loud, is simply proof you have no respect for anyone but your own need to say "hey look at me, I have a loud bike!"

    Those who say " I can't" will always be right.

    Seems a bit selective though. I don't see lawmakers crowing about noise from private or commercial jets over residential areas or tyre noise from busy 6 lane highways or rock concerts or barking dogs or noisy neighbours or windy nights or fireworks displays or schoolyards at lunch time or sports events or construction or life in general.

    But especially here in Oz, where we are one of the most over-legislated countries in the World, our lawmakers at some level of government have already responded to the calls from their constituents and legislated and enforce noise levels from just about all those things you mention, even if you don't see it all that much in the way of crowing about it. Windy nights, life in general, and in some areas, schoolyards at lunchtime are the only exceptions in your list that I'm aware of... But there are noise limits for all the rest in some way/to some degree, limits that can be and often are enforced - at least some of the time!

    Just had a brainwave why can't we earn carbon credits like the big guys do? So if the Lone Stranger wants to let rip with his 'Peacebreaker'(patent pending) if he could say flash up a pic on his phone of his back yard crop gobbling up co2's he's good to go. Thus he would earn admiration from the self appointed (and now redundant) noise police for saving the planet with every rev.
