Switzerland has noise ordnances, and like other traffic related offenses they are aggressively enforced.

Aftermarket mods, revving your engine, or late shifting can net you a cool 5 figures fine.

Sadly, it's barely enforced.

Depends on where you are. Thun and Bern started to enforce it much more just recently (with great success), afaik Zurich has their own task force as well.

Our street control systems are just getting started. Most people seem to have no idea whats to come.

I live near Zurich and sadly the noise from luxury sports cars and motorcycles can be unbearably loud (even through noise isolated Windows and away from the street). I don't think anyone really enforces it.

[unglaublich]

Yeah, looking forward to it. People should have the freedom to move around wherever they want, but not to rob others from their quiet time and sleep in doing so.

Here in NL some localities have local ordinances regarding noise pollution and they do actually enforce them.
