At the Gold-coast the worst offenders are the Bugatti, Lotus and Ferrari leasers...how is it legal to be that loud??

People have loud motorbikes and cars because they want attention. It seems very fundamentally selfish.

I've spent a lot of time in the countryside where there is a motorway in the distance, and the general low rumble road noise seems to be mostly the tires etc. But then sometimes a loud motorbike revs and that really carries and intrudes.

Motorbikes herald a man’s passage unto the alehouse, where he doth hold court and lament, ‘Why must my women always cheat on me?’
Is it? Police do charge vehicle owners that have modified there vehicles, because they are now too loud.
