i've just done a search on the source of this story and it seems that pistonheads has managed to leave out some of the facts.
the noise cameras are for commercial trucks and are being used to enforce regulation against engine compression breaks, they will not be used for cars but can easily be expanded to include loud subwoofers, noisy exhausts, or even an inopportune honk of the horn - to quote from the article.

im pretty sure here in ireland the threshold is different for vintage cars. i.e. over 20yrs old. i think that comes with having the free vintage tax... correct me if im wrong but im sure thats how it works........

If this deals with those little sts that put thoose ridiculous U-bend exausts on 49.999999cc scooters that make such a horrible noise, I wouldn't be against it.

Unfortunatly most 'tuning enthusiasts' put 'sports' exhausts on their cars/bikes as their first 'upgrade', despite the fact that they have no idea wether it actually improoves their stboxes' performance. It just sounds louder. This puts them clearly in the league of antisocial retards imho.
Couldn't agree more, wise words If this new "noise camera" can manage to put the mockers on the scooter-twunt-brigade, then I'm all for it!

Ah, but todays 'ped warrior is tomorrow's petrolhead...I'm now 36 and own two cars and a bike. Only one is standard and quiet.

Ireland? eh? laws on cars.. The only law is that if you drive a tarted up car that everyone beeps and waves as you pass. It's the law that everyone, including police are nice to you. I'm possitive on that one.*otherwise a totally stupid idea.. whats the point in a quiet TVR or even a quiet harley????
- Well that's how it was on our two kit car trips to Ireland. I even had a lady in her 60s telling me I should turn up my stereo!

Function creep is an issue in the UK, so it wouldn't take long before some bright spark decided to do what most of us (well, some of us on this thread) fear by persecuting drivers of loud cars and bikes.

your still missing the point i made on the last page that we dont need this to stop the noisy ped exhausts. THEY ARE ALREADY ILLEGAL IF THE RIDER IS 16 OR ON L-PLATES.

I think the most deafining sound I have heard from something small, is a plastic coffee cup.
Those thin white walled ones, with like concertina rings around it, squish it so both sides fold in, and stay in.
Hold it to your lug hole, and press the oposite sides so it suddenly reforms, blows you away.
