And there are separate laws for cars and truck noise too.

* California limits exhaust noise to 95 dBa: http://www.californiacarlaws.com/exhaust-noise/

* Colorado has a subjective standard "prevent any excessive or unusual noise" https://law.justia.com/codes/colorado/2016/title-42/regulati...

* Connecticut has a pretty complicated scheme depending on the vehicle's weight and age, as well as the road surface: https://www.cga.ct.gov/2009/rpt/2009-R-0205.htm

* Delaware has a subjective standard: "muffler in good working order and in accordance with manufacturer's specifications and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise." https://law.justia.com/codes/delaware/2015/title-21/chapter-...

There are, of course, laws about other sources of noise too. Ask any college kid.

The level of enforcement for this has to be something like zero....
