If sound test is done @ idle, this won't get rid of those idiots with freaking obnoxious decel pops....I find that noise more intrusive than those not knowing how to get into 2nd gear.

Measuring pops and bangs is useless (and requires better equipment). The presence of pops and bangs pisses people off, not the sound level (loud or louder makes little difference). Sadly that ship has probably sailed. Some vehicles come with pops and bangs from the factory. No sound tests are done with varying engine speed (too complicated) and many vehicles require a gear change to get the truly obnoxious noise out (they cut ignition but not fuel during the change).

I thought it was tough being a cop in the USofA. Looks like they don't get any slack for doing their job. Maybe we should defund our cops too and just do whatever seems right in our own eyes?

Maybe. But I’m sure they have bigger crimes to be involved in don’t you think?

With most newer bikes that have a pre-muffler and catalyst-box underneath the engine, that actually does most of the noise reduction, and the visible piece of the muffler in many cases is mostly decoration.

All bets are off if you've changed out the whole exhaust system and eliminated the pre-muffler and catalyst-box ... this also opens up the possibility of an emissions-tampering ticket (seldom enforced on motorcycles thus far)

Welp!
Time to install the baffle then.

People aren’t yelling at the mayor about gun crime, they are yelling about exhausts. So that’s what the mayor yells at the police chief about and so on and so on.

"Police are asking anyone with information about the fatal shooting or dashboard camera footage from the area at the time to come forward to investigators"

Every cop that's sitting at a roadside sound test is one less patrolling an area such as this. In fact, this Chickenland is on the same block as 11 Division, only 3 minutes away:

11 Division to Chickenland

I'm sure prople are yelling at them about gun crimes . Just like they do about loud exhaust . It is much cheaper to set up a spot check . In a busy area to look like you are doing something . Then sending cops to solve gang shootings .

This, not money.

"cops are out enforcing, guess they listened to us."

then throw all the gear in the closet at the station until the police chief barks at us to go out again.

I think that is a good start, but you also need to know the actual procedure standards as well what is pass and fail as it relates to the noise level.
Trying to find some exact info on this, anyone got any links?

I think this is pretty much the test they are supposed to do.

Motorcycles must be under 95db at idle, 100db at up to 4000rpm.

Here’s my old bike, it passed st 100db with internally baffled motoGP.

 
I have no problem with this. I was eating lunch today curbside in south Whitby and some jackwad on a straight piped HD cracked it wide open at a green light and held it there through basically 4 gears. And this was in a residential area.

I honest to god think I suffered hearing loss. It was ******* OBNOXIOUS.

Fu*k that sh!t.

I have aftermarket V&H's pipes on my bike, but holy hell, they have a tasteful tone, and I don't drive like a jacktard in residential areas.

I concurn with others - people with these pipes are their own worst enemies and the reason for this result, end stop.

I don’t understand why people want their bikes to be louder. I want mine to make less noise and will pay a lot of money to silent a wind without using earplugs (and without losing hearing lol).

Yep, For a few years i rode without earplugs. Now i will not leave the house without them.
