Another site to make you go Oi! No...!

[hertsbiker]

oh dear... take a look at this about noise of all things. Banning everything from noisey exhausts to bass boxes, to fireworks. And lowering speed limits.

Oh look, they published their address.

Care to name a date and time folks?

[steveab]

Ha Ha,

The bit on 'bass enhancers' made me chuckle, notibly the term.

I now have visions of the bolt on brigade going into Halfords - 'Excuse me sir, may a purchase that 12" infinity bass enhancer.' , could be combined with - 'Which bass enhancer would you recommend for my vehicle wireless'

New venu for Mania's? Read the bit on fire works as well?

Oh dear. "Ban sale of fireworks in shops" ... no fireworks for Joe Bloggs. "Ban all category four fireworks" ... no proper display fireworks either. Well that's nice.

I've heard more coherent reasoning sitting in the back of a black cab.

Rather than recatagorise all our roads and revamp the tax system, how about making cotton wool available throughout the country in shops called chemists? Well bugger me...

Chatting is to noisy so they banned it

[smeagol]

I agree with this anti-noise legislation just the other day I heard someone laughing in the street, disgraceful.

Tell me this cannot be for real. I mean banning fireworks because they make a noise, please. On the positive side if they ever tried to argue, you could always go Shhhhhh

[holbrooknr]

Hasn't anti noise stuff gone too far when you have to pass a noise test to go onto a bloody race track. Its not like the people who live close could complain as they obviously bought their houses knowing they were near the circuits, same goes for people living near airports.

[Nightmare]

reminds me of seeing a 'property' type program a few years back (by accident! honest) involving a couple who had moved to Silverstone village and were complaining about the noise........so a high level of consequential thought there then

[Plotloss]

Surely thats someone taking the p!ss no?

More expensive air fare? Lower speeds? Banning of fireworks? Surely not!

These people should be forced so sit in drag cars, holding lit firewords, whilst doing 300mph listening to 'ridiculous bass noise from another shopping centre volume 4'

If it wasnt so ironic I would tell politically correct people to shut up as they have nothing to say and what they are saying they are saying too loudly!!

[hertsbiker]

ha. Go to a "noisey" track day on your bikes, and it is still decibel restricted. What a load of kak.

Can anyone tell my how my Max Power friends get away with loud exhausts, but my bike riding chums don't?!

- rhetorical question, I know the answer is that bike exhausts can be checked without plod going on hands and knees in the dirt !

[Nacnud]

I've got a bike and TVR - guess which is the loudest, the TVR. Yes - my bike does have Race-Cans (nice pair of Art Carbon cans).

I don't think I'll ever be able to take my TVR on a track (maybe Knockhill, no neighbours). Still sounds rather good though.

Controversial comment comming:

"Maybe they are all old people - just want a bit of piece and quiet."

If that is the case, move somewhere where it is quiet - London isnt! Did you see the address on the "Manifesto"?

13 Stockwell Road,
London SW9 9AU.

A quick look on Autoroute indicates that this address is the junction between Stockwell road and Clapham road in South London. Strange thing is that this is also opposite to Stockwell Tube station - not very quiet then.....

Cheers,

Base enhancer...? What the hell is a base enhancer...? Some sort of concrete plinth add on to increase stability or perhaps some fancy paint...?

Pah, just goes to show the quality of research they do. The people running that organisation are probably like the Old Gits from Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse.

It reminds me of the pillocks that buy a house next to an airfield then compain about the noise and try to get it shut down. Eejuts.

R (with over a kW of amplification )

[Marshy]

God, they'd hate my house. 5x100w surround system in the lounge, with two floorstanders & two large standmounts. The bass amplifier with something like 150w and a 15" cone. I regularly crank up the hi-fi and play bass guitar at the same time. Speakers in the kitchen, hifi plus floorstanders in the bedroom. Hifi in the office.

I don't normally use it all at the same time, but if I ever need to remove the windows...
