https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/newyorkcity/latest/NYCadmin/0-0-0-209188

and

https://portal.311.nyc.gov/article/?kanumber=KA-01102

Which seem more concerned about how far away you can hear a vehicle from, rather than a specified decibel rating (But maybe that’s just a simpler way to measure decibel?)
