I know a little worried me and Marzman will have to stuff old rags in the back of our Stang's, eventually they will roll those cameras out when they realise how much they can make. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GranTurismoEra Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Central London, go there once a year if that. They should keep those cameras in central...We love hearing screaming bikes and v6, v8, v10 and v12 around here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I just don't understand where you can physically get up to speed to make any noise in central London anyway? It's taken a pandemic to clear the streets after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GranTurismoEra Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Its possible to hit 70mph in central lol maybe for a second. You risk getting 6 pointer if seen by police lol....Just not worth the risk. Im assuming these Noise detection cameras are listening out for any car producing just over the idle limit for EU of around 74 decibels i think. Cruising at 30mph in 4th gear can produce 80db..maybe the limit is around 85 decibels...so in most cars you shouldn't be gunning it in 2nd gear over 20mph lol....how does that apply to a stock Aventador!

GranTurismoEra Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Loud supercar engine noises captured by new noise cameras https://mol.im/a/12415011#v-6057835385478823262 via https://dailym.ai/android The video is fair enough. Over 100db....... can't argue too much with that. Thats why i love resonated short tails....quiet enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GranTurismoEra Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 74db is the limit for EU but that might change. 74db is a bit lower than cold start with an oem exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic73 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Long overdue imo. I've nothing against a spirited drive, but there's some bikes and cars have totally illegal exhausts where the noise, even at idle is absolutely deafening you can hear it for miles.

All v8 F types, Mustangs, Porsche 911 pre OPF and the like should either go to the dealer to get a software update or stay out of dynamic!/sport modes... 🤬. They're all loud stock from factory. Even with software and loss of pops and bangs. V8 cause vibrations. V10 V12 and W16 are even louder. V12 cold starts are harsh and sudden... Built for residences with their own land not terraced housing Goodluck trying to convince officer perkins it's a stock exhaust while he writes you a ticket.

It’s Officer Perkins place to prove guilt, not mine to prove innocence… That court case is interesting. I wonder if there’s any intention to go after the customers fitting illegal exhausts at the point of sale based on intent (rather than based on use, as is the current approach of Officer Perkins), surely they are just as, if not more, culpable?!?

At point of sale would require auditing by third party on which products are being sold....ie decat systems and pops and bang tuning....tuning beyond reasonable limits ie GTR stage 5/6. Similar tuning is made illegal in some countries. Sounds like it all ties into proposed tampering laws. Or maybe they're trying to copy US system especially in places like California where they clamp down on loud exhausts. Noise cameras will be rolled out on high streets and residential areas. On the highway it's a bit of a tricky one. PS in London DVSA can stop at anytime any vehicle to conduct a roadside MOT test as been the case with a mate. Usually they set up at the side on a layby pulling HGV and trucks over. They're usually there with traffic officers. I've also seen traffic cops looking under the hood of a guys car. He may or may not have a clue what he's looking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
