Not normally one to support this sort of thing but having just spent the weekend in London I'm actually not against this in the right circumstances.
It's hard to say this without sounding like a grumpy old git but back when I admired bammed up hatchbacks, I'm absolutely sure they were not going around with exhausts as loud as we were hearing on Saturday night. We were sitting out on my mates' balcony and it was actually difficult to hold a conversation while the boy racers were all doing laps of the neighbourhood for about an hour. Huge revs followed by loud, booming bangs and explosions - not sure what the appeal is; they just sounded ridiculous. It would have been comical if they weren't so annoying.
There's no need to drive like that in residential areas, so as long as they're confined to there then I don't have a huge problem with them.

Does the road as the OP look like a resi area to you?

Pretty much no one though does that in bold vs the 10's of millions of drivers with un-modded cars and bikes. Seems like a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Absolutely.....i'm right behind this. A nice sounding V8 burble is one thing.....fully "straight piped" cars and bikes screaming around, with fake popping and banging exhausts, at stupid o'clock are completely anti social.....literally anything to kerb this is a good thing in my mind....It's hard to say this without sounding like a grumpy old git but back when I admired bammed up hatchbacks, I'm absolutely sure they were not going around with exhausts as loud as we were hearing on Saturday night.

Be thankful that the police don’t enforce the law like they do in Germany. People in the U.K. have been modifying exhausts illegally for a long time with zero enforcement. This is going to catch a tiny number of the worst offenders, and given how annoying they can be to those in urban areas and rural villages, it’s about time.

Hmmm..... on the A272, popular bikers road, suspect they have a lot of two-wheelers with race cans on hitting 11,000 rpm at 6am on a Sunday morning and all the residents have moaned.
Don't blame them!I like a bit of a noise as much as the next bloke, but when I can hear someone accelerating out of the village a mile down the road, they deserve a poke in the eye. Absolute bellends.
They think "cool" everyone else thinks "t

Hang on a minute.
There are very specific rules about measuring noise in the Construction & Use Regs.
This doesn't conform.
Can you elaborate?There are very specific rules about measuring noise in the Construction & Use Regs.
This doesn't conform.

It won't. It will be a computer.
Doesn’t matter if it's a nice v8 burble as you say or a chav in a straight piped Corsa.
Over the (probably very low) sound limit and its a FINE.
according to.that article a range rover got done for 99db. the iva test limit is 99db. ie 99db is legal under construction and use for certain vehicles. how is some womble issuing tickets going to know that? also as eluded to above, noise test limits under iva and type approval are based on precise limits for engine rpm, power level, distance from sensor etc. so cant see how that sensor on a pole can be accurate for that? also current iva and type approval do not specify a maximum driveby noise level under say max rpm and max power which is often what these cameras will catch with cars going from a 30 to an nsl or similar
