Action Alert: Massachusetts House Bill To Ban Noisy Exhaust Systems
A bill (H.B. 2011) to ban the sale or installation of "an exhaust system which has been modified in a manner which will amplify or increase the noise emitted by the exhaust" is about to be sent to the floor of the Massachusetts State House of Representatives for a vote by all representatives.
The bill is currently pending in the Committee on Third Reading. We urge you to contact the Chairman of the Committee Rep. Tom Golden by phone [617.722.2410] and e-mail [Rep.ThomasGolden@hou.state.ma.us] immediately to request his support of H.B. 2011.
This bill, if passed, will serve to protect the rights of Massachusetts citizens from noisy motorcycle and hot-rod exhaust systems. You can also contact the Massachusetts state legislature’s general information line at 617.722.2000 to find the name of your local representative. Here is the bill.
Rolling Stones Gather No Noise
The Rolling Stones, kicked off their 'A Bigger Bang' world tour at Boston's Fenway Park. When the Stones rocked the stadium on August 22, 2005, the police stood guard outside Fenway with noise meters. If the music surpassed 70 decibels on surrounding streets, the city was prepared to tell concert producers to turn down the volume.
