You must have heard a lot of cars that make a lot of noise because of their exhaust modifications, even motorcycles. The noise they produce becomes so excessive that it annoys anyone, it becomes something invasive in the house and today it is considered an auditory contaminant.

What happened?

In the UK they plan to change this, fine a modified car or motorbike with leakage noisy and to do so will do with the camera, but they have the peculiarity of having a noise sensor.

The first project will start in four UK territories; in Bradford, Birmingham, Bristol and Great Yarmouth, where for two months these entities will have the aforementioned camera systems with noise detection in place. If the move is successful, other cities will accept the system to implement it in their municipalities.

It The UK intends to spend 337,000 dollars on this technology and will evaluate it by April 2023which is the area with the most noise caused by rude drivers or cyclists, to further expand this system.

This technology uses multiple microphones to detect loud exhaust sounds. Cameras record lawbreakers, tTake the vehicle catch, along with the license plate and then a document with a fine is issued each.

On this issue, Anne-Marie Trevelyan, UK Secretary for Transport, stated that “this new camera will help police to stop those violating legal noise limits or using illegally modified exhaust, to create a lot of noise in our community. We will work very closely with local authorities and police to share our results, I hope this technology lays the groundwork for quiet and peaceful streets across the country.”

It should be clarified that the system is already in use in other cities in France; while in New York and Californiaoperate a similar device but in a five year program.

How about an initiative from the UK to reduce the noise produced by cars that have modified exhausts? Leave us your comments.
