If this thing goes we will be travelling silence, and if we add the 40 MPH speed limits proposal driving will be like attending a funeral for mimes.
Well, there goes my GT3RS.........

FFS...

That is stupidly low.

There are louder mice...

At what road speed? After about 50mph there's more tyre noise than anything...

daft report said:

For the first time, noise has also been linked to an increased stroke risk: in Denmark, 5% of all stroke cases are caused by traffic noise

Dear EU,

please go bust already and disband.

Love,
Everyone.

Noise interferes with people’s daily activities at school, at work, at home and during leisure
time. It causes sleep disturbance, hearing damage, even cardiovascular disease

EU Plebs said:

Studies have revealed that fifty thousand deaths and approaching a quarter of a million cases of cardiovascular disease every year in Europe are linked to traffic noise.

Why oh why do they no start clamping down on the SH**head chavs with the idiotical exhausts on their stupid Shatsos and Corsas, why they think it sounds good I have no idea, when will they learn you cant make a weazy sub 2.0 four pot sound like a racing car by putting a ludicrous exhaust on it. Low noise is a good thing and a quiet car is something I have always strived for even from my first car.

It was nice knowing you.

I do agree with Codswallop though the best thing the EU can do is die a very nasty death, and very soon if possible.

Is that practically all motorcycles and even particularly flatulent cyclists ?

What do you mean? I dont agree with this ruling I think my post may have been misconstrued. If they
want to clamp down on noise stop these MOORONS.

They're talking about noise level standards for new cars, not about modifications to current ones. This regulation won't stop the chavs in stroens putting a silly exhaust on their car.

I know it wont, but if they insist on quietning down motors start with the TAT already out there.
