I think they’re missing the point of noisy cars / motorcycles.

Sure, there are the minority who have noisy vehicles.

But the real culprit are the tires.

Tell me, when you walk by a highway or a road, what do you hear? That sound that is vaguely like an ocean lapping against the shores, just louder and artificial and annoying right?

You never really hear the engine, even at a short distance away.

The tires make a LOT more noise than the engines and exhaust do! And it carries farther than an engine does.

Tired need more regulation, and roads need to be built with quieter materials.

And if we lowered the speed we would also lower the noise.

Indeed! It would help a lot.
