Re: Windsor police warn of summer-long crackdown on car noise, by Dalson Chen, Could 21
That is music to my ears. I’m additionally inspired by the priority of Coun. Rino Bortolin.
The car noise air pollution regionally seemingly has continued unabated.
The worst offenders are the straight-piped bikes, however different autos, together with muscle vehicles and pickup vehicles with modified mufflers, usually are not far behind.
The article states the sound of a motorbike engine within the metropolis limits can not exceed 92 decibels at a distance of fifty centimetres from the exhaust outlet when the engine is idling.
There may be, sadly, no idling when bikes speed up down Riverside Drive East the place I reside. I imagine {that a} decibel studying must also be taken with the engine revving.
This is able to end in a extra correct document of the deafening noise we’re subjected to each day and which may be heard from over two blocks away in both path.
Thanks to Windsor police and Coun. Bortolin for motion on this situation.
