I believe 74db is the max allowed under EU law for new cars (starts at 70 and the more power the louder, but 74 is the max you can get to). Not 100 percent certain though.

Edit - the article is from 2015 though / might well have changed since then

Can I whizz past at 250mph in my Rimac? This is another nail in the coffin for the ICE

Yep. All part of Mayor Khan's masterplan, while he gets chauffered to work in his bulletproof Range Rover.

how accurately can the detector pick-out a single noise source against the general background din that is central london ?

where in the statute is the figure of 74db mentioned ?

does there need to be signage to say that you're entering a noise limited zone, as per a speed limited zone ?

how do i know if i'm breaking this limit ?

The statute is EU regs....I am sure we’ll still come under it as manufacturers won’t give us a different spec. US may do though given size of the market.

I don't know what level they should be, but I do know people who live in W1 and supercars blitzing about residential streets are a huge problem, both noise wise, and obviously anyone with kids, dogs etc generally isn't a huge fan of some prick in a 488 doing 70mph down the side of a garden square.

I'd actually welcome them near me, fking morons on loud superbikes and cars smashing it down the road near me (which is a 20) all hours.

Wish we had them in our small Norfolk town, agree with this entirely.

In our local media:

“We have had reports recently that some drivers have been using the roads as ‘racetracks’, illegally modified vehicles are causing noise pollution in our neighbourhoods and anti-social driving is worse than ever.

New decibel meters will be introduced in hundreds of locations introduced to gather evidence on loud motorists.The trial of static acoustic cameras, similar to speed cameras but also measuring sound, has been very successful in London and the view is to introduce them throughout the Country.

Drones will also capture entire areas, rather than individual streets, showing the wider effects of biker groups or speedsters"

The country is going to hell in a hand cart, and people are dripping about this

The root cause of this and other socially targeted restriction is over-population - those of you with over 3 children hang your heads in shame.

In the case of Kensington and Chelsea won’t this be a case of millionaire Saudis not paying the fines like parking under diplomatic immunity. Meanwhile Trevor the builder gets fined as the back box fell off his Kangoo on site earlier.

Probably but the Saudi’s and their mates are a problem for a relatively short period. I guess long term they will deem cars that break the “sound barrier” as not road legal. My guess is that will mean they can impound your car.
