I hope we outright ban loud cars, and give huge fines to people with modifications to make their cars louder, like my neighbour who is a piece of sentient garbage.

Also, making noise reducing tires mandatory for cars would be great too.

Also, to reduce noise of cars even more, we need to reduce vehicle weight, so the heavier a car gets, the more it should be taxed every year. This will encourage automakers to make smaller, quieter, and safer vehicles.

I hate all cars, but since getting rid of them entirely is almost impossible, I’d rather make them less shitty.

I moved to an apartment adjacent to an intersection on a medium-high traffic stroad and it was the biggest mistake of my life. I have never been so stressed. I can barely even enjoy music now because half the time if I hear low bass in a song I think its coming from outside and I get annoyed for a few seconds.

As somebody who lives in a questionable neighbor, I would personally sacrifice a lot if we could ban vehicles from playing music above personal listening levels while in residential zones. Feeling house-reverberating bass at all hours of the day is way worse than normal car noises.

On vehicles modified for sporting purposes the silencers no longer work because the propagation of sound is different and therefore db-killers are applied or it is avoided to drive them around the city center or during off hours. Then there are people who purposely remove the silencer just to make noise and this also reduce factory performance, these deserve to have their license withdrawn because they take advantage of the fact that noisy vehicles occasionally exist.
